Good morning everyone!

The "Arrrrgh!" subject line says it all for me today. Between my family and my job, I am getting pulled like a thin piece of taffy about to snap...

I was doing great Monday-Friday afternoon, but Friday night, I ate too much, and Saturday night, more too much. Monday I was 221, Friday 212 (WOW), but now I am at 216.

But... I know that Medifast is my "salvation" and I am back on it today. I am DETERMINED not to give up. I do wish I didn't have this slip-ups staining my so-called perfect restart, but... I'm getting there.

My grandmother is now refusing to eat, and is already under 100 pounds. Her doctor does not think she will live through the end of October. (I personally don't think through the end of September...) My mom is doing as well as she can, she knows it is up to my grandmother to do what she wants with her life... but it is hard to watch.

On a lesser scale, my job is insane. We are very behind - I worked all day Saturday, and am going in today also; a 7-day work week. YUCK!! But I am bringing a bottle of shakes with me and I will soldier through this.

I did want to be honest with you all... keep you updated... hope you ALL are well... and I will be checking in later!

Be safe and get better, Martha!

And good to see you back, LilMsTexas!

HAPPY LOSING DAY TO ALL!!!!!!!

Hi Neighbor,

The most important thing is that you are NOT giving up. These are the times that either make you or break you. You WILL make it! Don't dwell on the past - that's just wasted energy

BG - so very sorry what a hard time for you and your family ! Work will always be there so try and pace yourself. It is very very hard to watch a loved one make such difficult choices. MF and your MF family are and always will be here. Not to worry - try reading the site when you need a little extra push. Each day is a new beginning. HANG IN THERE !!! Mytime

Good Monday Morning, Berk ~

Aw...your family is in a difficult place. My Auntie chose to not eat any more and we had a granny from our church also make that decision. It is very hard for the family when people give up but sometimes that is what they want to do.

In the midst of your busy day, be sure to drink some water - it will give you a reason for walking down the hall; taking a five minute break every hour or so may help you to deal with the pressure you are facing with the deadlines. You are prepared for this day and facing it head-on - that's a good thing.
