I Am Back and Need Serious Help…..
I”m ashamed to say that I’ve gained almost 10 pounds back since I’ve been on here last. It really sucks. I had to quit ww due to gas prices. I’m at school full time and it’s going well. I work full time and it’s going well also. My marriage is a little rocky now. We won’t go into our anniversary disaster or the dealings with it.
I just know that I haven’t seemed to be able to get my act together. I eat without thinking. Grabbing a mt dew is not unusual. I could easily grab a water but I don’t. I feel drained majority of the time. Emotionally and physically. I feel like I’m falling apart at the time and it sucks. I know my time is spread thin. I need to get away but can’t afford to. I’m just frustrated with life right now and it sucks. I feel like I’ve failed. I am letting myself down, my family, and Steph down. I want to get back to doing good like I was.

Listen to me, you let no-one down. You only let yourself down when you give up all hope. Friends, family love you as a person whatever shape or size we are so it’s down to us to solve our own problems for our own happiness.
Have you given up hope? NO! You WANT to get back to doing good like you where before, and do you know what the good thing is? You CAN! Last year I was tipping the scales at 345lbs, and I kept saying to myself I want to lose weight, I tried and tried and tried but I just couldn’t stick to any diet or stay away from crisps, sweets, fatty foods for more than 3 days. I gave up hope for years, expecting never to recover, never to get back to my athletic self.
I had a long think to myself about how hard things are for me and how much I want to lose weight and I progressively cut out everything that was bad for me and started my new lifestyle in May of this year and I have lost 56lbs, one third of the weight I need to lose to get back to my old self.
I can do it, you can do it, we all can do it if we really want it. My life was in a shambles to, not that I am comparing it to you but I have 3 kids with my long term partner who cheated on me and that didn’t exactly help me mentally but I am still doing it, for myself first and foremost.
You can do it and you will do it. Remove Mt Dew from your house, take out all the things out that are bad, do it gradually so you don’t shock your system and before you know it, you will be back on the right path again.
Also, I know I am only 20 but I hope this blog is worth something to you, I know how it feels believe me, but we can do this.
you can do it…
sorry to hear things are going bad for you!
things can turn around so quickly!
Just getting back on and knowing you want to change is proof enough that you can do it!
don’t worry, you’ll get back on track! Stay strong
JMC has it right. I am glad he took time to write. It seems like everything is a mess right now…and its easy to seem overwhelmed. Instead of trying to deal with everything at once…start by taking care of yourself…pick and area that you can deal with..water..dt mt dew..and then add to it a little at a time. You have already started by taking the time to come in here and reaching out for help. We are here for you girl..hang in there..you can do it!
When I eat crap (and I do sometimes) I pay the price. I feel lethargic and grumpy. Well balanced meals are a way to get that energy up I think and I have found for myself.
As for the shaky marriage I hope things work out in the way that is best for you. Please take care of yourself Shelley. *hugs you*
