I am giving up....

{{{{Olga}}}} I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through this. Just remember that WISH means "We're Inspired to Stay Healthy" and right now staying healthy for you means dealing with this situation, whatever it may be. So if you need a break for a while, just don't forget that we are here for you when this situation is behind you.

And please know that you are definitely NOT alone--ALL of us are here for you, my friend. We love you too and we will miss you while you are on break. So come back soon, OK?

{{{hugs}}} sweetie. I can't really add anything to all the well written posts before me. Just wanted to send my good wishes and cyber hug your way.

Olga, I just sent you a PM.

{{{Olga}}} You sound so sad & I just had to respond. You have gotten a wonderful outpouring of love & support here at WISH. Please take advantage of it when you need someone to turn to.

I'm sorry that things aren't going well with you. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel eventually.

Know that you are a special person. You are worthwhile. Even if you have to take a break from WISH, don't give up on keeping your body healthy.

I know that you don't know me, but I have great "listening ears" if you need to vent. You are welcome to PM me & I will not judge or be hurtful. I will just listen if you need me to.

Give those kids a hug, that will feel good right now.

So sorry to hear that the world is closing in on you. Please know that although we cannot be with you all the time in your day-to-day life, we are all just a computer away.

Good luck and look after yourself.

I think we've all had times when everyone, and everything, seems to dumping on us! There were, and still are, days when I feel like the little metal ball in a pinball machine, just getting bounced from one place to another.

Just remember that you don't always have control over events in your life, but you DO have control over how you react. You can respond by eating a chocolate eclair (my favorite) or going upstairs and doing crunches until the anger/stress passes.

And you know what? Sometimes the eclair IS the best choice.

As everyone else has said, sometimes watching your diet and exercise is just another lever in that pinball machine, sometimes it's the goal. We all need to take a break from time to time; this is one group of people that truly understands that more than any other (IMO) We all recognize our imperfections, either through introspection, or by the rest of the world cruelly pointing them out to us, so we try to be only supportive, and nonjudgemental. We can get plenty of criticism elsewhere!

Please stay with us! But if you just can't right now, remember that the door is always open, and your seat is saved.
