Melissa where the heck have you beenposted 9/10/08 10:30 pm
I decided to post a blog about some personal things that have been going on for two reasons. One to apologize to those of you who have turned to me to help you through your changes and challenges. Two to ask you to offer me that same support when I some times stumble.
We have come through two difficult months in our household. The health challenges, family issues, financial concerns, and I know I am not alone in these issues. We all go through it. But here comes the dilemma, we take care of the physical needs, the stomach is tighter, the weight comes off, but what do we do for the mental and emotional challenges. REmember the old days when you turned to food to take away stress and boredom? I am here to tell you that you have to take care of that part of you as well. I have fallen into old habits. I gained two pounds in August and I have not really lost weight in a while. In talking to my doctor we determined that it was time for me to go on an antidepressant to help me get out of my hole...but habits didn't change and I am still struggling. I choose to share this with the group because I feel guilty for not being here for all of you and I ask that you understand that sometimes you need time to recharge. Our meetings are part of that recharging process for me. Hearing your successes juice me up! Not having the meeting last month was tough on most of us! I look forward to getting back into the swing of things. I also want you all to understand that if you hit that emotional/mental bump in the road, reach out for help. We need to fix ourselves as a whole, not just the physical part. Can't wait to see you all next week! 1 Response to "Melissa where the heck have you been"1 comments
