Its no excuse but I have had to bury 3 young people in my life this past month and with the stress I gave up on taking care of myself. Today at the doctors I got a scare about my heart. I did worse and have to share I have done even worse with quitting smoking. So I am back to fighting for my health and well being but needed to beat myself up a little bit on trying to understand "whats the point" because everyone is dying around me. I guess God answered me today on the value I am to people and to never give up trying.
As the great Doctor Now on TV says weight loss is forever not a diet.

Good Luck everyone and hoping for a better year.

((Hugs)) I was there 2 years ago. Lost three family members in 2 weeks, one of which was my dad. Took me a long time to start taking care of me. I am very sorry for your loss and you ARE worth It <3

It's understandable that with such terrible events, you'd lose focus. I'm so sorry for your losses. You will get back on your feet in time. I wish you strength and balance.

It is very hard to stay focused when you had even one loss in your life. My prayers for you and your family.

Sheri1971 I had the same thoughts when I was trying to quit. Always gave in to the thoughts of what's the difference? I'm gonna die anyway, may as well go enjoying myself. But that's not the truth. You'll never go enjoying yourself. You'll quit smoking sooner or later, the difference is will it be your choice, or the hospital's? I will die one day, hopefully in my sleep while dreaming about playing with my grandbabies and not about the cigarette and coffee I was gonna have when my alarm goes off. You can do this, you are part of the strongest species of animals ever to cross the face of this planet. You can do almost anything if you believe you can, and you can stop yourself from doing anything if you believe you can't. Make yourself proud and don't worry about the rest.
