Sometimes I just feel stuck! How I keep going when this happens ,,,, 💐💐💐

Dianedoessmiles1

Over the past 10 weeks I've felt so stuck. I also am in a holding pattern awaiting surgery.

I've been tracking my food, and exercising. There are times circumstances are beyond our control. This is the case I feel right now. One of all 4 of my parathryoids have a tumor on it/them. Since 99% of these are non cancerous that is not even (THANKFULLY) a worry.

Over the next 2 to 3 weeks no doubt I'll be as I am. If I wasn't tracking my food/exercise, I guarantee I'd be gaining so much!! Instead I've stayed between 177 and 178 in that range.

After the sugery, as I recover I am hoping I'll once again lose.

Though I DO FEEL STUCK, I am not without hope!! Many of us read the motovational stories looking for HOPE and STRENGTH when we are getting low on them.

Years ago I found an online site that helped me (Sparkpeople now closed) we relocated here in Aug of 2021 (DURING the pandemic at that!) My wonderful teammates help me when things get funky and cheer me on a LOT when things are going well. We work on healthy habits 2 at a time because hey, I am not sure about you, but I'm so easy to just grab a pizza, eat at McDonalds and I have NO DOUBT that chocolate cake, could be back on the menu as DINNER!! But instead I've learned how to cook (THANK YOU to all sites that show us step by step what to do!_)

Did you know that there's a group here on MFP that we get the support we need while we also exercise (at our current level, please never over extend) while working on 2 habits weekly?
