Life Sometimes Get’s In The Way!

August 11, 2008

Well here I am again apologizing for not posting in a while. Life just seems to get in the way. We recently had a death in our family and my husband and I had to deal with the estate.

It seems that as we go along in life and try to achieve certain goals and we are on track something comes along and Boom we get derailed! When I was attempting to lose my weight several things came up for me that derailed me, causing me to slip, give into my cravings and eat foolishly, without thinking. I remember getting so frustrated sometimes I would say to myself “Oh what’s the use?”

At times like this if you are experiencing a “slide” , feeling as though you are just spinning your wheels and getting nowhere fast it’s time to seek help. By that I mean it’s time to start looking for help from others who are attempting to lose weight just as you are.

The Internet is a great place to find just those people, in forums and blogs. Look for a support group where you can interact with others who may be going through the same thing you are and talk about it. You are never alone and people are generally very giving with information and tips for you that they have tried and things that may have worked for them. Remember that if you find that group be honest and ask for help or a solution to help you over your hurdle. Someone may have already gone through the same type of “slide” and may just have a solution that will work for you.

When I was attempting to lose my weight the Internet was not available, and the only form of support I could get was from my nutritionist and my family doctor, however they weren’t going through what I was. Today you can interact with so many people and share your triumphs and ask for help just by clicking your mouse. These people are all attempting to do exactly what you are, they understand and they will help you just as you will help them. They know how you feel and what you are going through. Also you may have some helpful tips for others that you can share.

It’s truly amazing how people will come together and help one another out, all we have to do is ask. That’s one of the reasons for my blog. I want to help in any way I can becasue I have gone through what so many of you are going thorugh. I know the feelings you are experiencing, the cravings, the mood swings, the feelings of helplessness and unhappiness, I’ve been there. Now I am here for you.

I recently joined the FOURTY-FIVE DAY CHALLENGE, presented by Bob Doyle to work out some issues of my own. The support and friendships I have gained is immense and proves that people in general are all very giving and supportive. The key is to ASK. There is an old saying “No Man Is An Island”. This is so true and all we have to do is put ourselves out there and ask for a little help and guidance.

If you find that you are struggling, feeling deprived, moody, and just basically ready to throw in the towel look around, find that support group and dive in. Share with those people what you are going through and you will be amazed at just how much help you will get to help you through the rough times and little bumps that life is throwing at you. Please also remember that all you have to do is leave a comment and I am here to help.

There are always going to “BUMPS & HURDLES”to deal with, that’s life, however support from a group of friends will help you get through anything!
