Gotta Take Care Of Me.
Okay i miss my workouts.I miss feeling energized and a sense of empowerment.I felt like i was doing something just for me that no one could take away.I was eating better,drinking lots of water losing weight .I love my new house but this move has set me back physicall,emotionally and financially.I am so tired of letting myself go and taking a back seat to everything else.My mom is depressed cause our uncle is dying in Arkansas and she feels helpless so i have to deal with her mood swings.My grandchild is sick,so is my son and one of his stepsons.I understand these things are so crucial and important but if i do not get back to taking care of myself then what good am i to anyone.I need to work out.I know if i go for a month or more i will get discouraged and give up and it will be harder to get back to it.I walk by my new exercise room and i get frustrated.I worry bout everybody else but myself.i have been down,depressed,and feeling overwhelmed.It seems like everybody in my life needs a piece of me and my time regardless of how i feel i am expected to keep on going like an energizer bunny.So i am staying home tonight.I cannot afford to gain weight.So even if i am in pain i will work out anyway.I need to get back to feeling good about myself.lol.
Please take care of yourself because no one else will. Let some things go. Just not you.
I have been there and can so empathize with what you are saying. The difference is - you really have it figured out.(I was a little slow, lol) You know what you need to do. You are correct, the best way to take care of everyone else in your life is to take care of yourself.Turn those exercise room lights on and go for it! Wish you well.
You have to make yourself a priority before you can be any good to help someone else. I learned this when I had to take care of my mom. Take care of you!
You really do have to take care of yourself because you cant help anyone else if you are down.
