Do you ever feel like you are doing so much and not getting the results you want??
I do all the time. Now I am not sure if it is my medical issues, thyroid cancer survivor x 5years and although I am on medication for my thyroid(lack of one) I still feel that not matter how well I eat and how much I exercise, I am never truly getting the results I want.

So after what seems like an endless 9 months of loss,My dad passed away,grie,f and just plain "Not caring" I finally feel like the fog has lifted from me. Today is a new day, and a new month for me to re commit myself to ME.....with my eating along with my exercise. I figured that my dad would be so dissappointed at the lack of progress I have made. I have to remind myself that I CAN DO THIS and I HAVE TO for my health, my children, and most importantly ME!!!

So today 12/01/2012 I am recommitting myself to MFP, to my food, my health and to ME. I want to be the best I can be and although I have stumbled and fallen a lot these past 9 month and it has felt like i have given up, I kept getting up.
I guess that is really what life is about right? stumbling, falling, and getting up. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to land on our feet.

I Love the song by Phillip Phillips HOME

"Hold on to me as we go, as we roll down this unfamiliar road and although this wave is stringing us along, just know you are not alone, I am going to make this place your own.
Settle down it will all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons they fill you with fear
the trouble it might drag you down
if you get lost you can always be found.
just know you are not alone
becasue I am going to make this place your HOME"

So I am not going to pay any mind to the DEMONS that are in my head....

    I'm glad you are at this point in your life now. You have been through a lot. It is good that you are able to turn things around for yourself and continue on your path now. I wish you the best.

    Good for you. I know how a parental loss can affect you. That's why I'm at the weight I'm at. Both my parents are gone, but it wasn't until after my mom died that I gained 25lbs and was depressed. It's taken a long time to come out of it enough to commit to loosing the weight and feel I deserve to loose the weight.

    You are exactly right, life is not about what happens to us but how we persevere and pick ourselves back up. Don't let life's negatives get in. Stay positive about everything in your life and you will succeed.

    Sorry for your loss, but picking yourself back up would make anyone proud. I don't know what you've done, or not done, as the case me that woud make you feel you aren't making progress. When you're trying, that's progress. Always remind yourself of how far you've come, not how far you have to go. Results can be slow, but results, are results!

    Good luck on your journey.
