Good Bye April!

I am saying a farewell to April. This has been the hardest month of my journey to get healthy! I have faced the ultimate challenges and distractions. I have had a hectic work load with my family being in town. I have been a caretaker for my grandmother and during that time I learned to put myself dead last. I would resent putting myself last and feel trapped, and then I would turn to junk food and binge eat. I have had a ton of binge eating episodes over the last two weeks and my family has been back around and I have felt myself slipping into my old pattern of putting myself on the back burner. I have kept up with my exercise this month, my strength training and my walking, but I fell off any type of eating routine. This month was a struggle and one that I just had to get through. The two lessons I learned this month, is that I must put myself first or pay the price of resentment and binge eating. The second and the most important lesson I learned was to never give up on myself even if I am having a bad meal, a bad day, a bad week or in this case a bad month. As long as you don't give up you cannot fail. I am happy to get back on track for the month of May. My plan for  May is forth coming.
