I hate admitting it, but I lost focus badly!
I have regained some, not all the weight I lost, just by being lazy mostly... We moved from Western Canada to the South Eastern USA last winter, I no longer have access to a free gym membership as I did when I was working. I've also had to transition from being a nurse to a SAHM.
But everything has come to a head recently with the death of my beautiful 12 yr old lab x last month. I've honestly stopped caring what I was eating, how much I was eating or when I was eating. Add to the mix that I am sitting on the couch wallowing in my tears that I can't cry because I don't want to upset my children and fearing to go to sleep because even when I dream of Daisey I still know that she is gone and I am reliving watching her shut her eyes for the last time over and over and over.
Its time to get back on track, I've logged two days now and I just really need to get back into the habit of caring about myself.

It is so hard losing a beloved pet. It is just like losing a family member. I feel your pain. I have lost two of my cats that were 11 and 12 years old in the past year. Time heals. It will get easier.0
