No, I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. No, I’m not wallowing in self-pity. I’ve had my nose in a book kindle. Seriously, I’m obsessed. I wrote up a review/my thoughts here so instead of repeating what I’ve already said I’ll just let you go to my personal blog and read away. In short, I LOVE the dang thing. (In fact, so much so that I’m getting behind on my DVR shows but that’s actually OK with me.)
So, there was a question/comment about my statement in my last post about “doing it alone”. Yes, I feel like I’m doing this alone. I don’t have a work-out buddy so I don’t have the personal drive to get myself out there. (Bad excuse but there it is.) I cook for one and haven’t been motivated to do it lately so I’ve been eating crap (doing my best to stay in my calorie range and succeeding for the most part but still crap in still means crap). The people around me feel more like they’re judging than supporting (maybe it’s me, maybe it’s my feelings from past experiences, maybe whatever but that’s how I feel). So, yes, I feel like I’m doing this alone and I don’t have the drive/push/motivation lately to keep myself going.
I also made a comment the other day that I wanted to clarify. I said: “Plus, my favorite pants keep falling down. But that’s not a good note so I’m not going to discuss that right now.”. It’s not that I’m complaining that my pants are baggy, that’s a good thing. but, I HATE shopping. So baggy pants = shopping and that’s not a good thing. Plus, I still have lots of weight to lose so the thought of shopping for new clothes when I plan on losing more and them not fitting for long is frustrating to me. So, that’s why I said it’s not a good note.
So, I need to get motivated. I think I need to find a (Kindle LOL) book that will motivate me again to get back on track. I know part of my problem is stress and some of that’s not going to change for a while:
So, I think I need to find something to motivate me to get back on the wagon or something. I don’t know. It’s been a rough few weeks, I know that for a fact, I just need to find a way to get motivated again.
So, if you have some good tips send them my way. I want to press through this. I want to succeed. I’m just struggling.

You are not alone. There are tons of us out here who are cheering for you!
I’ll say a prayer for you and your family. I know that it must be hard having all of this hit at once.
Just stop and breathe. Take a few minutes for yourself when you feel overwhelmed and let all of us cheer you on.

Hey. Can we get the pants altered? I’m about to take a stack of my husband’s stuff soon, because his pants are falling off of him as well. And since he’s not yet at goal, I’d rather alter now and buy new later. Yeah. Like when we have all that extra money and stuff.
