Prayers and thoughts needed!

Thank You Cindi, I am going to try and get refocused and find some way to mix up me daily routine, so I can find something that works better for me. Just know that you all are here with me makes me feel so much better. I'm glad that you don't think I am nuts! Take care, Carmen

Carmen, I think after a certain point we just get tired of doing the same exercises, eating the same foods, etc. Try to shake things up a little. Change your exercise routine, try some new foods. Get a friend to exercise with. Treat yourself to a short period of time each day to take care of you and get away from home for a short time even if only a half an hour or so. If you don't take care of yourself it will be hard to take care of the rest of your family. You have done a great job so far and are just in a 'mood' I call them. We all have them. Just shake it off and continue on with the rest of your journey/life. You are stronger than this mood, so don't let it jeopardize all your hard work. You are woman!!!! You can do it!!!! Just do it!!!!! Blessings, Connie 357/161/157

Connie- I am going to break this mood and mix things up! I am woman I know I can do this. Thank You for helping remember all of this! If I need to hear it again in a few months I know just who to ask! Thank you for the strength, Carmen

Hang in there Lady! You have come so far and you will find your "center" again. Just keep trying new things until you find the one that works for you. Personally, I've started listening to the classical music station (88.7) on the radio going to/from work. I was never really big into classical music, but have found it very relaxing lately. With all the stress of dealing with my mother living with me temporarily while we try to get things settled to put her in the nursing home (long story), I have been very stressed and eating more too. But, I just try to make each day a little better, and if I can't do that, I try to find something low sugar/low fat, but tempting. Not always an easy task, I know. Good luck and have faith in yourself to overcome your personal demons. I believe in you! Cindy

Cindy Thank you for believing in me! I will try hard to find that perfect center and start to believe in me too. I will try to overcome some of these personal demons and come out on top. Your words and thoughts are going to help me up the mountainside. Thank you, Carmen I sure hope that things work out on your home front soon!

Carmen, I am so glad you posted this. I have put 4 pounds on in the past month I am just one year out. I havent been doing walking or excercise and I have eaten stuff I shouldn't of. I wanted so bad to say something but was afraid I would get a bunch of crap because I was doing this..... Know that you have posted this, I know I am not alone. Thanks for letting me know I am human. I have been trying hard the past two day but still strugling. I will keep you in my prayers also. Lisa B

Lisa, I too am glad that this is out and open to talk about. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your hardships. I am sorry about your 4 lbs, but I know that just talking about it will help you. I feel so much better just reading all of this love and support. I know that we can do this and that if we stay focused on today and forget about yesterday, we can get threw it. We humans need to stick together, LOL Carmen
