I haven't been on in a while because i haven't been doing very well. Haven't had the strength to fight the addiction battle. I am taking baby steps to get back to where I was. I joined Curves again but I've only gone once. They have very selective hours and stuff kept coming up. I haven't been getting comments on my journals anymore, and i could use your support. I am making it a goal to get to Curves at least 3 times this week and I am easing back into healthy eating. I am still caring for my mom and bro. Not sure if I wrote that my bro is going for cancer screening. he is in alot of pain and can't really do much, so I do their house cleaning and make meals and bathe my mother and clean and feed her birds and stuff like that. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but I'm learning that I don't have to be there all the time and it's ok to take time out for me.Like I said before. I could really use some encouraging words or feedback.

Hello there, I am very glad to hear that you are taking time for yourself, and would say it doesn\'t have to be just exercise time if that makes sense...I know for me sometimes just a nice drive away from everything feels good, even 30 minutes. I too right now am just struggling, have had a bit of an emotional roller coaster lately. But, here we are:) So your continuing to journal and reach out means a lot, it\'s helpful and I thank you. I\'m hoping the best for your brother with his cancer screening today, and am sending my positive thoughts your way right now.
It is so understandable that with the extra stress of caring for your mom, you have gotten off track! Kudos on joining Curves... I belong to bally\'s, but haven\'t gone for way too long!
Would you be willing to make a pact to go to the gym once this week for at least 15 minutes????? It would help me to do this...(I\'m thinking baby steps here!)
What do you think????
Hugs, Truth
