Starting over
I’m starting my whole diet and workout program over again. I haven’t done anything in the last three weeks and have gone up two dress sizes. One of my grandmothers passed away and the other has cancer and we are being told she won’t make it to Christmas. I just kind of gave up. I’m starting over today not just because I want to but because I know they would want me to. One is 82 and the other was 84. I want to be that old one day and the only way to do it is to take care of myself.

I can sympathize with your struggles subvet. That has been my pattern over the years, to get close to my long term goal and then have a "perfect" excuse to go back to junk food or stop training hard. We are here to support you if you need it, take care of you in this difficult time ok .

Thank God for the ability to start over. I have to start over daily…even when I have been successful the day before, it is a new days with all kinds of challenges thrown in my path. Many times I do great and win the challenges, other times I lose. For instance, I had a awesome nutrition week…perfect, but late last night..under some stress, I ate 4 oreo cookies, drank a coke, and ate 8 marla dooner cookies…lol. Now I could look at this and feel bad, and say to myself, I ruined my whole week…or I can say, well I will do the best I can tomorrow and eat leaner. I try not look back at my "failure"…just forward at my future successes. Be encouraged, and stay motivated.

A nutritionist I know said that sometimes when you’re stalled on weight loss, the best thing to do is to gain back a bit of weight. Then go back to dieting. A: It offers a mental health break, and B: it tells the body that its ok to lose more weight and it wont starve.
Ge good to your self my friends. Tomorrow always starts another day, and any life well lived is a celebration!
Friends, VT Mom.

We all experience times when we have a setback. The important thing is your back and are going to be better than ever. I know you can do this. Cheering for you. You know your family is in prayers.
