How horrible is it when you are so down you dont even wanna vent in your diary? I got a call from the dr saying my bloodwork came back abnormal. I went in to discuss it and my cholesterol is WAAAAAAY up and my Vitamin D is WAAAAY down. I have to take a vitamin d supplement once a week for 20 weeks and I have to lose a hundred lbs. That is half my weight!!! I cant get motivated. I have no support. I dont know what I’m gonna do. I know I need to do something and there are people out there who wont understand why I wont just lose the weight. People dont understand how hard it is. I really believe I am addicted to food. Not to mention I’m just so sad and down all the time that all I wanna do is lay around. I dont want to do even the smallest things.

 

On an even worse note…thursday night was authors night at my kids school. My 4th grader had to write a passage about her mom and a passage about her dad. The one about her dad was really sweet. It said he is very strong, a hard worker, and the best dad in the world. Then the one about me says she loves me even though I can be mean sometims, that I’m always tired, and I’m always crying because I stay so sad…I didnt realize how bad I had gotten until that moment. It was hanging in the hallway for everyone to see. I felt so exposed and embarrassed and hurt for my daughter. I cant believe I have brought her down like that. I never wanted my kids to think of me as "broken" I’m supposed to be strong and supportive and their rock. Instead she see’s me as unstable and sad.  I just dont know what to do anymore. I feel like such a failure

so sorry that you are going through this, just keep trying to pick yourself up no matter how many times you fall, don’t give up on you.

the fact that you want to lose and the fact that you went to the dr. is a good start. also the fact that your kids NEED you counts for something. Being NEEDED is a compliment. & I know how hard it is when those ‘little’ things you do aren’t recognized as valuable–that’s probably why you stop doing them! i do the same. Just gotta KNOW inside & move forward. you can do it cuz you really want to.
