Not been dieting at all. Up 5 lbs from last weigh-in and not happy about it. I have been feeling really depressed. Hubby's dementia is escalating and his psychiatrist is not helping him at all, as far as I can see.


I've been leaving the house more, just to hang on to my sanity. I started doing volunteer work with the SPCA 4 hrs a week, and now I am chairing a local caregiver's support group.

But I can't keep my hand out of the cookie jar...

A new project came up where I have been asked to photograph three people who are working hard to lose weight -- they want a visual record of their journeys. Hopefully these 3 ladies can entice me to do something about my own weight problem.

Now I'm taking an anger management course, which seems to keep me calm and help swallow my frustration. I even cracked a joke at hubby about his forgetfulness.

To help him keep his "independence", he's been in charge of our meals, but the last three meals were too horrendous to eat. I have a super sense of smell and just had to garbage these meals. I asked him if he was trying to poison us. And he said "maybe..."

Wow! That does sound so hard. Dementia is brutal. It sounds like you have some good strategies carving out new directions for you, while he goes in another. You are building your future, as you support him through his difficulties. Strength and courage to you!
