Closing in
The weekend is almost here. Thank goodness.
I am feeling just so overwhelmed right now. I stepped on my scale this morning and the faceplate on the display cracked with a loud SNAP from the strain. I can barely walk up the dozen steps at work without feeling like my heart is going to pound out of my chest from the strain. I can feel myself pulling away from my family and friends… I hardly talk to anyone anymore. The world feels like it’s closing in around me.
I know that things will get better but some days I just can’t see it.
Hang in there hun!!!! You can do this! There`s better days ahead…Stick with you`re diet and exercise and you`ll start feeling healthier in no time! Be strong!
As Michelle said, stick with it. It takes some time but you will start to feel better and that will trickle to other parts of your life!
Sometimes you just have to put your head down and soldier on even when you can’t see anything good happening. This may sound dumb but if I’m climbing a really steep hill and I keep my head down and concentrate on my feet…the top seems to get here a lot quicker. Keep climbing those stairs. It will get easier.
Channel your inner Matt LeBlanc. You can do it. 
Chris,
You left some good advice for me on my blog this morning.
This is a battle, make no mistake about it. Your fighting for you life. So, please dont give up. Its ok to discouraged or overwhelmed. We all do. After your comment..Betsy gave me some tough love about how I have all the control and I’m the one in charge of my choices. So, with love, i’m passing that message on to you. Baby steps if you need to…just start working again. You are worth it.
As for your family and friends…I can understand pulling away from them. I tend to do that too. But, you need them right now more then ever. So, find a way to hang on to them too.
Hugs, Debbie
Don’t give up Chris- you CAN do this!! Kudos on blogging- sometimes it’s the best way to keep from emotional eating- you have a lot of support here, keep coming back!!
Sound like me.. Hope things get better.
I know how you feel! You give every one a piece of your heart. You need to keep some for yourself and remember you are worth it!

I understand…I really do. But I think you want to choose to live life right? And not hide away for good. It all seems so overwhelming when we look allllll the way down the road we must travel. DONT DO THAT! Look at today…look at the next 5 pounds. Look at doing one thing positive today. You can do this. I understand wanting to disappear…trust me I do…but I am reaching out to you and offering a hand as you oull yourself up. You are not alone…we understand. Do not give up! Sending HUGS your way whether you want em or not
Comeon man you can do it! Go out, have fun, enjoy life! Just because your big doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy life! The more you go out and do things you like, the quicker the weight will come off.
I’m in NY now, don’t make me come allllll the way down to GA just to drag you out to a museam or concert!

Hang in there! Keep your head held high and move forward one small step at a time.
Don’t give up! You can do this…like Jen says before me, take one small step forward at a time. Hang in there! ***HUGS***
