Alnona's Journal, 28 May 2019

Yup, I did it again. I allowed people to dictate my actions or rather inactions. I had the most miserable weekend with food, exercise and family. My Pop is gone a year on Wed and my Mom is worse now than she was then and who could blame her. My brother's birthday was Sat and we went to see him, he has advanced stage ALS. I was so heartbroken by the sight of his condition, yet I could show no emotion for fear of upsetting him and Mom. My sister-in-law is quite literally an Angel, she is his sole/soul caregiver. He will not allow anyone else to care for him. After this emotional visit and my Pop's memorial service, I had additional stress from my son's family. I'm sorry for the run on rant. This is how my brain is working today, I'm sure many more have it much worse, so with that in mind, I will stop complaining and do something about it. I'm going back to my quasi keto diet today, I'm going back to the gym later today and I'm not going to let people or situations control my journey. Thank you all for being here for me, it means more than you know. Have a healthy day 🙋😘

That was a lot to handle in a few days time and I am thinking you didn't share all of it. Good to hear you are back on plan. ❤

I’m sorry it was such a trying weekend for you, Alnona. Lots of triggers. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and I know you’ll be okay. It was 2 years end of February since I lost my Dad. Time does help, but I miss him every day. 💖

That is a lot. All of us would struggle with all that going on. You are a strong, capable woman and I have NO DOUBT that this turmoil will not derail you. You got this!

Sorry you had all that going on, and continuing. It's been quite a year.

Wow Alnona! That’s a lot! Give yourself a break. Take some time to grieve and refocus. I’m sure your healthy decisions will help.

I have no excuse. I was with loving family and decided to go totally Keto with my daughter and her friend starting today. I used the holiday to pig out and gained 9 lbs back in 4 days so instead of starting my challenge at 219 I am starting at 228. Shame on me. Since I have read your post I am using you as my inspiration. Just know that God in You knows what to do and God in You will see you through.

Praying comfort and whole-self recovery for you today. One weekend doesn't break you any more than it makes you.

I, too, am a bit of an emotional eater. I feel so much better when I eat well but I LET myself go this weekend and pretty much ate constantly. I ate because I wanted to and then, because my husband was upset with me. All that did was make me upset with myself so that certainly didn't help. I didn't get on the scale this morning as I didn't want to admit the damage I caused. Just writing down my thoughts has already helped and I am now going to record my food intake and plan my day. It certainly is a journey, not a destination :) We can all do this, it just takes determination and some 'at-a-girls' - - so, at-a girl! You can do this!!!

Every day is a new day!! And every day brings with it a possibility of stressors. You do what you can to get through them and then once through, you get back on that wagon and get done what needs to get done. It's hard to be prepared for every situation so you try to ride it out as best you can. It may be 3.5lbs but it isn't 35 lbs and 3.5 is a whole lot easier to lose! You got this! Praying for you and your family!!

This is why I love this app. It started as an app and then I started to learn and apply and had amazing results but sincere people here 💯. I know everyone here is rooting each other on.... and it’s sincere. Bottom line we started here for a reason... something I never expected... legit connections and friends who want the best for you. ❤️❤️
