Hi 🙋♀️ how is everyone doing?
I’ve been away for a whole month 😮 I’m still struggling with my depression. I’d love to be in self quarantine but I know I’m lucky to still have my job! It may be over in a month. I still don’t know if I will have a job next month. Finding a new job is going to be tricky now with the virus; everything is closed down here in Miami. Well not everything. Any store that sells food or cleaning supplies is still open but are only allowed to have a very small number of people in the building at one time. Our store is allowed 10.
I’m working a lot but I’m trying to stay safe. My kids are all doing virtual learning which is a challenge.
I’ve been eating non stop and really not exercising at all. I forced myself to get on the scale this morning. I’ve gained 17.5 pounds. I’m just glad it’s not 25 like I thought. I’ve started counting calories this morning. It’s the last thing I want to do but if I don’t gain control of this mindless eating I’m going to be 200 pounds again 😩

Dawn...you are not alone in your struggle right now during this crisis many people are experiencing the same things, depression, eating out of boredom. It is not your fault and hopefully soon this will all be over and we will get back to our normal lives. Just concentrate on one thing you can do at a time.. I call them{ baby steps
} to get yourself back to where you want to be again on track. Maybe just try to do one thing and concentrate on that like getting your water in per day or maybe getting enough protein in or maybe just try to get 500 steps in to start...any goal no matter how big or small finished will make you feel like you are achieving something and that will inspire you to get back on track, I fight with this everyday and yes I get depressed sometimes but this is what picks me back up.. It is a day to day struggle almost all of us deal with but I hope my post can help you in some small way to get yourself out of your funk and into a better place.

Welcome back! The positive - you've battled this before and already have the tools to do it again. For me if I am able to do more things that I consider self care, I feel more in control and it helps with anxiety. Some days will be harder than others and that's ok. Eventually we will have more good days. Things I am focusing on: tracking food, back to exercising, trying to get outside more, eating healthy, meditating. What things can you think of that you can call self care?

Yay! Welcome back! Glad you got caught yourself when you did. I'm probably right there with ya, but my scale is down until I can buy batteries so I'm still in for my shocker.

The past is the past, you can't change that.
You can control the future and right now. What you did yesterday....thats ancient history. What you do today, thats what matters.
Best of luck my friend!💛💛💛

Oh you guys 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for your support. I hate complaining because I know other people have it worse than I do and I should be grateful. But I still feel so alone and weary. Thank you for reminding me that I’m not alone and there is hope 💕💕

❤ Oh Dawnie, you can turn this around! You have been through some tough "stuff" in the past and have dealt with it all in a courageous manner. It's hard to think of yourself right now, especially when you have kids, but that's exactly what is best for everyone right now. Take care of yourself first, tgen everyone will be taken care of. 👍❤❤❤

Thanks Tom 😊Thanks ladies ☺️ Logging has helped a lot. I haven’t been really strict with myself but I’m doing much better with food. I got good news too! I’m going to be transferred to another store. There is an open position 😃
