I think I need to vent...life is out of control...and spinning faster!
Because of my hubby's condition my sister whom is 12 years older than me finally checked in to see what was going on. I have talked to her twice now in just two days. She was pretty supportive about the heart issue...and then asked about how my weight loss efforts were going. That is where I about lost it...not at her...but with myself. I have been stagnant or gaining since December when my father died. That is where all of this starts. Then there were the holidays. Followed by snow out the wazoo and cold beyond belief. Mix in some furnace issues and high propane costs to stretch the budget. A son who moved home and is sucking the money right out from under my nose as we pay for his housing, food, laundry and utilities while he goes out and has fun more than half the nights a week. There is the daughter who ended her college basketball playing days in February. Hubby was depressed about that and then his heart issues began. I ran into yet another blizzard and ended up in the ditch with my car. I fall and come as close to dislocating my shoulder as possible while trying to exercise by cross country skiing. So I battle on...and then the forecast for today and tomorrow...you guessed it...8-14 inches of snow on top of freezing rain and blizzard winds. I just cannot tell you how excited I am about that! Mix in taxes and FAFSA not yet done that I usually have done by the beginning of March and you have one complete basket case! (Son is starting to move his belongings to a new place this weekend he says.)
All this ranting because my sister just asked how the weight loss was going...

Hang in there. The venting might be the way to slowly get back on track. You have a lot on your plate and thankfully your sister is there for you to truly let out your feelings. This site helps too. Be strong and remember the weight did not come on overnight (though we like to think so) and, the journey is long but rewarding. Baby steps and, all the best.

I gotcha! COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND! We want it to get better and it will. Resist the urge to go live under a rock because I know this doesn't help. Just hang in there, take a deep breath, and roll with it.
1.Death in the family is difficult to deal with. Hold on to sweet memories as much as possible.
2.Good that son is going to move to his own place. Less stress
3.Money, yeah, never enough of that!
4.Hubs heart: keeping an eye on but try not to stress. Sounded like he got a good report recently.
5.Snow/winter will eventually go away and spring is right around the corner.
6.Weight issues: that's just one of those life issues that likes to keep us on our toes. A constant battle! Fight through the mountains and fly high over the valleys!
7.Can't wait to hear what adventures your daughter will take on next!
Lastly, hugs and prayers sent your way for comfort and peace.

One little thing often lets loose the landslide of crap we've been holding in. Don't beat yourself up, K, I know you are and that has to stop. Re-read what you wrote and imagine it was the past few months of one of your buddies, what would you say to us?? You have fallen on the back burner and your loss has plateaued, but that is understandable considering the circumstance. Life happens, it is a set back, you will get back on track and great things will come of it. You are stronger than all of this. Keep your chin up!

I so agree with Yolanda; all it takes is one little thing to unloose the landslide..... it's okay. It is okay. You will get through all this, one step at a time, one bad day at a time. We ARE all here for you. Vent as much as you like; we will listen and we do understand. You are NOT alone on this journey. Hang in there.

they say even the season changes are hard on a body; so you can imagine how all these stresses effect a person. Tomorrow is a new day, forget the gains and start a new. I haven't weighed in for a few months, because i had so many things to do at home that were overwhelming me; so you have done better then I have. We finally had to give fore warning, to kids, that this is ONLY how much help you will get financially from us; you would probably have 6 months to start making it on your own. They have to realize there are more important issues you are dealing with also. and also, don't beat yourself up with the weight; then it's just another stressor. good luck

Thank you all for your support and comments...it has just been such a awful time. I was doing so well and then I hit a wall with any and all weight loss.
Tonight I got most of the tax information inputed finally. Have a few small items to enter and then I will be done. Then it will be on to FAFSA...yipee. Now you know how my weekend will be spent.
