Checking in...I'm in the group that is tired of winter already. Like
@Donald - my hero I too can suffer from depression. It runs strong in our family history. It's always a HUGE struggle this time of year. This year, it harder with our horribly cold snap we seem to be having - with no let up until the end of February it looks like. But this year...it just seems to be kicking my butt.
Food has been pretty good. The scale went down again
and keeping my fingers crossed about the bet between the hubby and I ( we both have an initial target goal to meet - and the winner gets 1000.00 to do what ever they want with ) and so far...I'm getting closer to mine than him. Slow and steady wins the race. So I'm going to keep doing what I am doing...it seems to be working.
I did press play on the BBOD and have worked a couple of shifts at the second job, which is always walking or moving boxes or furniture. There is always a work out there. Hopefully I will be able to get out of bed a little easier and press play a little more. I didn't gain this weight over night...so it's not going to go away over night...But my clothes are fitting way looser, I'll be able to go shopping my closet again...my winter coat is getting looser and no more wiggling to get it zipped up...even with the bulky sweater on under it. So I'll take that win.
@bababear_50 please don't let that foolish woman make you feel that way. She only says things like that to make herself feel better...why people have to act like that I don't understand. We need to build each other up...not tear each other down. Your doing exactly what you can given what's ailing you.
@Donald - my hero, you are doing exactly what you can do. Some days are definitely harder than others...especially in the winter. We cal allllllllllll relate on some level of how you feel. It is a struggle and I can sympathize in your daily struggles.
@hdrolfe hang in there. I can see myself in your struggles. Your doing great with your kiddo. Pick and choose your battles. That's what I always say. There are some things we let slide that other don't, and there are things that I won't let slide that others do. Stay firm in what you choose to be a battle. It does get better
