Well, some stress should be lifting off my shoulders as my Mom's house is sold and that is the last part of settling her estate. I am still grieving but it gets less and less. Now, I have no excuses to not take care of myself, have a healthy lifestyle and exercise more. I live alone now for the first time in 21 years. Doubly challenging! I can eat food whenever I want, have junk food in the fridge and pantry and not have anyone know about it. However, I intend to be accountable to all of you to keep me honest and on the right track. It is ultimately up to me but I have you all to back me up.

I would love to have more buddies. I am afraid that some of the ones I have think that I am gone forever, but I am not! My health demands that I lose (pre-diabetes) and my old age--post menopausal and the wonderful muffin stomach that seems to hold on forever! I asked my doctor for a hormone check to see if I can blame some of my weight on that but I know in my heart it is probably what I put in my mouth. Yuck. Many of you are in the same boat and know how I feel. Okay, enough whining and thanks for letting me vent.

I have been a member of FS off and on for almost a year now and have lost nine lbs. During this time I have had a fair amount of trauma; my Mom's death, moving her things and my things out, putting up with some obnoxious sisters, finding a place for myself and then finally selling my Mom's house.

I have gone up and down with having pre diabetes and being really good about exercising and having every excuse to not do it. Also found out I had severe sleep apnea which was good because I thought I was getting chronic fatigue syndrome. Now I just have to use a machine at night and I feel pretty good! Dodged a bullet there.

I still need to lose over 30 lbs. I want to be positive and tell myself that at least through all of this I still lost nine lbs. But my health issues are becoming serious enough so that I need to lose more. Writing things down is so easy and yet I blow it off so many times. Why do I do it to myself? Any suggestions out there? Yes, I have to love myself to have the fortitude to stick with take care of myself. I have all kinds of healthy recipes so I just need to cook them. My Mom was a cookie monster who never gained weight so I don't have to worry about sweets in the house anymore. I'd still rather have my Mom around!

I am just venting as we all do. For those who have read this, thanks.
