WOW I gained another 4 pounds, I'm going the wrong way, at one time this summer I was 5 pounds from my goal and now I am back to 15 pounds. I see my nutritionist today and hopefully she can get in my head and get me back on track. I'm just not into this right now, my adult children are my focus.

My son and daughter are having some life time issues that makes me worry about them and I've lost focus on myself. My son who is 27 recently moved back in with us, he seems to be going through some sort of depression issues due to losing a job and has no motivation about working or finding a new location to move to. He needs to gain weight so it's really hard to fix the foods I need to continue the weight lose when I'm trying to feed him the foods he needs to gain.

My daughter is 23 years old and a General Manager of a fast food chain and continues to struggle with keeping the number of employees she needs to run the store. Currently she is working approximately 80 hours a week on a 40 hour salary, I worry about her health and her personal life with her boyfriend, who doesn't seem very understanding.

My grandmother and I were extremely close and I now understand what she went through when I had life issues. She use to say I wish I had a million dollars so I could make your life easier. The life I have, the struggles I faced are what made me the person I am today. I'm strong willed, I can handle a lot of life issues, because I did it in the past and know I can do it again. I can do pretty much anything on my own if I need to.

My husband also needs to lose weight but is such a picky eater and the foods he needs vegetables and fruits he doesn't eat. I worry about him having a heart attack or getting cancer cause he is a smoker and I am not. He smokes outside because he respects us, no one else in the family smokes. I guess I had some influence with my kids they don't smoke and they drink reasonably He supports me on my weight lose at times but says he likes me just the way I am and if I want to eat carbs then eat them. He doesn't make me feel guilty at all, he kind of rides the waves with me.

Thanks for letting me vent, now to go to work. Have a blessed week!

I'm not real proud of my self right now. When I get away from FS it seems I go back to my old eating habits. Everything it seems is against me eating right and staying healthy.
1) I have a son who can't gain weight and he needs the carbs just to maintain his weight, he is 5'6" and weighs 130 lbs with less than 5% body fat so my husband and I can't just cook for us we have to think of him.
2) Doesn't help the days I go from my full time to my part time job I have no time to eat during my part time job. My husband brings me food but it always comes back home with me at 10:30 pm.
3) I don't get off my full time job until 5 and my husband is already cooking dinner when I get home so I don't have near the say on what we are having. I try to heated up frozen broccoli or cauliflower in substitute from what they are having or replacing some of the carbs with salad.

We all have our struggles and everyone(s) are different. Wouldn't it be nice if we could conquer our struggles and be in a happy place. One day at a time is my motto and if I fail that day I always tell myself there is always tomorrow. Sometimes it's one step forward and two steps backwards but hey I will get there.

On a positive note it's a new week and a new beginning one day at a time. Have a great week.

Sorry I haven't been on FS for awhile. My life has been turned UPSIDE down. I'm currently working a combination of days and nights due to a co-worker quit. I don't know when to eat what and when anymore and my sleeping routine is so messed up! I'm used to working either days 7-3, 9-5 or 7-5 but sometimes I'm working one of these hours and then working 6pm to 6am a few days. In another couple weeks I will be going to straight nights 6pm to 6am until someone is trained. This could last the rest a month to 2 months depending on how their training goes.
Also I just had my blood work done and my kidneys and liver are working harder than they should be plus my cholesterol is on the rise. My friend turned me on to a coffee called "U" about a month ago and my doctor is wondering if this is having an effect on my kidneys and liver, so I'm laying off it for now until I do another blood test in July. Until I go back in August to my nutritionist nurse I really don't know how to eat. I've read where red meat or protein in general can be hard on your kidneys but I also read where vegetables can be hard on them also because of the fiber. Guess I will continue eating the way I am until I see results of my next test and see where I'm at. This really stinks because I have tried so hard to eat right, lose weight and become healthy so I can live longer.
I'm very sorry but this is a depressing entry this week, but I'm kind of in the dumps right now. For what it's worth I had a fun weekend with my husband and son. I hope all who reads this has a great week and has having great results on their health journey!
