As some of you know, I have been dealing with some seriously heavy emotional baggage along with my best friends due to recently losing her grandmother to liver cancer. It sucks so damn bad. She is angry and there were so many people w ho could have helped her that simply chose not to, because of that I have been away dealing with her and trying the best I can and I have been wAY WAY off of my diet. I have been able to focus on not ingesting a lot of sugar though. I still have not touched a single soda, aI still haven't eaten a single piece of candy, it will be 4 weeks now so I'm happy with that. but the time right now is so bittersweet, I am having trouble keeping up with my meals, some days I eat nearly nothing while others I eat a meal from Dunkin Donuts, only to find out I just chugged 1000 calories worth of food. Mind you it's JUST a sandwich, hash browns, a donut and a drink. Stay away from Dunkin donuts people, it has high everything. Anyway; I am going to try and focus on getting back on track, I haven't done any workouts this week, I kept up with walking though so I haven't been completely idle other than helping my bestie. Wish me luck. I'm moving forward, getting my head back in the game now that bestie has gone back home down south.

You can recommit right away! What's done is done and no sense in beating yourself up over and over. You did the best you could with what you were dealing with. Start off with small, manageable goals like working out / walking a couple times in a week for a short time. Don't over do it or give yourself too many changes at once b/c that will just freak you out and you may get frustrated. Good luck and keep posting for support!

You are a good friend! Sometimes we just have to compromise and do the best we can with the situation we are in. I'm sure your friend appreciates you. The Golden Rule is at work in you.

Hopefully refocusing on your health will also help you refresh your mind from the turmoil you've just been through. I'm (still) so sorry for both your loss...! Glad you were able to minimize the bad stuff in the diet, albeit to a point, lol. At least it was something, and that's a huge accomplishment given what you were going through. You're a champ girl! You made it through, and you're going to emerge just like I expect: A strong, beautiful survivor who doesn't let anything get the best of her!!!

Staying off sugar and keeping up the walking - those two things probably saved you mentally and physically during a stressful period. Nice to know that you can hold your own in a storm, eh!?

Plus you were motivated out of love and friendship. Nothing steers us through rough waters, better than that.

You can get back on track and keep moving forward. What you're doing for your grandmother is very special and you will always be glad that you were there for her. I know it's hard (I just lost my mother in August) but I'll always be grateful for those last weeks.

My one BFF lost a child this year - the best I can do is be there for her, taking good care of myself and her. As my sister reminded me, "You have to put on your own oxygen mask first before you assist other passengers" - it's a family saying and when I get stressed out trying to help others, she says "hey, is your own mask on?"
Take care Katsyk!

Erikahollister You have no idea how proud of myself I was. LOL I was having these little moments through the grief like" wow i cant believe i still had the strength to say no to free mounatin dew" One of the comical moments with my bestie. We laughed so hard when i said that.
PhillySue I am so so very sorry for your loss, When i lsoe my mother i dont think ill be able to keep it together at all. I hope all is y well for your family, thank you for the kind words.
Abbadabba- I was told I couldn't have any children at all, then somehow I managed to get pregnant. As far as I know that little minion is the one and only child I will ever have, I am so sorry for your friend because I would die I think, just the emotional weight would crush me, stay strong for her and I'm sorry she had to g through such a thing. Thank you for sharing.
