This week...has be crazy. I am in Texas and we are going through some horrific wildfires right now...thousands of acres burned, hundreds of homes lost...my family is active in the Volunteer Fire Department here so...(not me personally but my mother, father, brother, sisters) you can imagine how crazy it has been. I have not been wanting to deal with my diet and I just wanted to give up because I didnt have time for it..I havent exercised in almost a week and I am just tired...well this may seem silly...but I finally had to get on MFP today and I was feeling very discouraged after a hard week of my new lifestyle and I was even wondering why I was stressing myself out doing this new "diet/exercise" thing and maybe it wasn't worth it...

well...I came here and looked at the success stories and I now remember why I want to change. You all inspire me so much with your amazing transformations! I know this may seem silly compared to what is going on around me, but it was just uplifting and sorta a stress reliever because I was stressing myself over having a rough week..on top of other worries...

Silly I know...but I just needed to say thanks.

    I am in Texas too. Hopefully your family stays safe and you are out of the fire's path! I just joined this week and the site is very encouraging. Keep up the good work and hopefully we can all get some rain and relief soon here!

    Sometime just the act of sharing your stress helps relieve it. The fires are getting a lot of play on national news. Stay safe
