Jiminy Crickets, My Life Imploded.

LokiGrrl

I was clicking along and then BOOM. All this real-life crap happened and I'm holding on for dear life. I tend to get a bad case of the dontcares when everything goes pear-shaped like this but I keep reminding myself that I can't afford that even if the Universe is having a damn good laugh at my expense. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

So in closing, I'm working real hard to stay focused on my goals, and also I am high-maintenance and have trouble staying on task when things go wrong, but I'm bulling through.

My life is inherently unstable due to my mental health. I have found having control of at least something (in my case food tracking and exercise) makes sure I don't spiral completely and keep a grip, however tentative, on my life.

I hope things sort themselves out for you soon though!

Just had a life changing event myself. I've found that I can log my food. There is a lot I can't do about everything else but I can do that.

Sometimes taking stock of the things you can control really helps when there's a lot going on that you can't.

I hear you. My husband disclosed he had an affair.. My sister had a stroke ... I lost my job... But I can lose weight! Lol! Along with my sanity. Keep on trucking.

The fact that you haven't given up means you'll prevail. I hope things smooth out for you in the meantime.

Like the others said: tracking your food is something you have control over so go for it. It does give me tons of confidence.

Over the recent past I have come to realize that our weight and body composition is completely 100% within our own control. Think about all the other things in life we have zero control over, just about everything else.

This is awesome!!!

Hang in there. You can do this!
