Hello again! It's been awhile, and a lot has happened. At this time last year, I was in the zone and I had it together. Fast forward a couple of months, into the summer and I literally lost my mind! My husband had been working out of town for half a year, and my son got out of school for the summer. It seems like I just woke up one day and my life as I knew it had crumbled, with no apparent cause. I suddenly had debilitating depression and anxiety. I was terrified of everything! Getting out of my bed in the morning, and facing another day Terrified me!

I went to the Dr and got meds, but I didn't want to take them. I had been eliminating chemicals from my environment and the thought of taking pills was hard to swallow. (Pardon the pun ;) I suffered for a few weeks until I decided to start taking the meds and suffered a few more waiting for them to take affect. There were times that I considered swallowing the whole bottle because I could not live another day feeling that way! But, I couldn't do that. My first reason was because it was just my son and I, and who would take care of him the next morning if I was gone? (Hubby still out of town) Then, who would know what he wants? He is a non verbal child with autism and I am the only one that can read his mind. He is such a mommy's boy, and I couldn't do that to him! My little man cries when I leave him to go to the store. SO, I decided that I Had to get through it for him.

It seemed to take forever, but eventually I got some relief. The meds helped me get to a stable point. I no longer thought about leaving this world, and I was okay. I even enrolled in college(at 30 yrs of age) to fullfill my lifetime dream of becoming a Psychologist. Maybe, I thought, this is the reason for my breakdown! That's it, God was telling me that I had to make a change and do what I was put on this earth to do.

Fast forward to now.... my last class of this semester was last Thursday. It was exciting waiting for final grades to be posted, so I was great all weekend. I worked hard and I know it is going to pay off!

I woke up this morning, and felt a tinge of anxiety. Honestly, I have dreading this summer for about a month, but I was occupied with school so I couldn't give it much thought. This morning, though, I didn't have anything that I HAD to do. My son gets out of school the week after next....I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared of it all happening again! I have been off the meds since January, so there's no safety net.

Then, there's the weight.... I was almost there! It's disappointing, to say the least. It was 95 degrees outside today and I don't have one pair of shorts that fit me! At least none that are acceptable to wear out in public.

I can't give on to the disappointment.... I just have to move on and get out of this rut! I've been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs every week!

I WILL figure this out bc I will not accept defeat! I have worked too hard! I lost 130 lbs in one year, and 30-40 lbs have been screwing with me for over a year now!

MAKE IT HAPPEN!
