    Tosha, I think it's wise of you to do what you've gotta do to make your life run smoothly. I, too, have those perfectionist tendencies and they can lead to depression when too many things seem imperfect. It's surprising how quickly wanting to get in shape can lead to a 24 hour a day obsession...and that is indeed draining. It sounds to me like you have many other more important things going on right now than calorie counting.

    Best wishes to you on everything!

    Tosha- You are going to have to do what is best for you and your family.I know how hard it is to be a military wife, plus raising kids on your own. I wasnt as brave as you to attend college while my husband was away. If you want to talk you can find me on facebook (Jessica Troxel), my email is jesstroxel@gmail.com, and Im not to far from you if you ever want to talk face to face, Im in Muncie all the time.
    Best of luck!! Jess


    AFM: I have strep and so does 3 of the kids, plus one with broncitus. Its been a very hectic few days.

    Congrats on this week's losses. Jess, some weeks are like that. Grr. You'll get the scale back next week. :)

    We had my son's 7th birthday party today. It was chaotic & exhausting - - such a busy weekend. I went over calories today, but not as bad as it could have been. Back at it tomorrow. I'm treating myself to a beer tonight to celebrate surviving all of the prep work. :)

    THis week's weigh in: 170.4 - - down 1 pound even

    k ladies...I am going to finish out the week...but I too am getting "overwhelmed" with everything I am taking on! I will be very active on MFP still, just not on this thread (sorry Jess)...feel free to add me as a friend (if we aren't already) and hopefully we can still help keep each other motivated throughout all of our journeys!!:flowerforyou:
