I posted on FB community pg.. but better off here….. My life is really getting into the way of my workouts & clean eating habits!!!
My father passed away Christmas day and we had to move mom into assisted living. 🙁 It’s a beautiful place but she’s hallucinating and fighting with me and my sister to get her OUT OF HERE!!!! (Forgot to mention Dementia too)
I squeeze in heavy lifting workouts maybe 2 – 3 times a week but…. my food is my biggest problem. (I’m doing the current challenge!) Its just the food.. ugh!! Food gives me comfort. I need appetite control & portion control. I get jealous of those folks that are taking the magic shot. I know that’s not for me though. I still wear a size 8 jeans… although they are definitely SNUG! I’d love to lose 15 pounds!!! Sister eats very low carb… tells me to limit carbs.
Maybe I should incorporate Fiber Supplements throughout the day.
Any advice for me?February 12, 2026 at 4:16 pm #606855MaureenModeratorI posted on FB community pg.. but better off here….. My life is really getting into the way of my workouts & clean eating habits!!!

Any advice for me?Why you are going through sounds super painful and difficult. 😞 I can’t even imagine how tough it must be. I’m glad to hear you are using the gym as a stress reliever. I really want you to be easy with yourself right now. The more you push during this time, the more your mind is probably going to push back. My advice would be to find an outlet for these tough feelings you have right now. Therapist, meditation, journaling or all of the above. It all needs a place to go and sometimes we need to just sit with where we are and move though whatever emotions are coming up. You will start to regulate as far as food goes, don’t be so hard on yourself. But allow yourself to process everything going on. Once you begin to do that, you won’t need the food in that way. Control what you can and do all of the things that help you feel good about you. We are here for you. 🩷

I’ll try the journaling and meditation. Plus, now the SC weather is improving (most days), I’ll get out and walk. Thank you so much for your advise! I needed that! Love this community!!!
