Challenges and successes

I'd like to try to develop a more interactive group, so I thought I try starting a Challenges and Successes thread where we can share our respective challenges and successes. Sometimes we need to look at those challenges and find ways to manage them, but also be sure to recognize our successes. 

My challenges: 

We have been in the process of moving and I find that I misplaced my supplements and keep forgetting to take them. I mentioned this to my husband and he said he had his supplements and would be happy to share them, so I'll be taking him up on the offer. 

Because of our move, we have been eating out more often and I haven't been eating as regularly or as well as I would like to eat. I went to the grocery store this weekend and stocked up on some things that would be quick and healthy so that I would have things available at the house. Now I need to see about getting a cooler or something to have at the old house so that I can have some healthy things available there as we finish moving the smaller stuff and getting the house cleaned up. 

My successes:

I have been able to hold my weight through a very volatile and stressful time. I now that in the past I would have put on at least 20 lbs with the stress. 

I am physically able to get so much more done; not only because of my increased stamina, but also because I'm smaller and much more fit than I used to be.

I have been taking time to go to support group meetings. This has been a huge help for me in so many ways. It has provided support through difficult times, but it has also allowed me to reach out to others and that too has helped make a difficult personal time a little easier. It also has helped me to look at my behaviors and make corrections. I tend to really take a look at myself when I'm talking to others and they are sharing their own challenges and successes.
