I was tempted all day today. But I stayed with the plan. I think I may have overate but it was low carb. I feel I'm at a standstill in my weight and life. Sometimes that can be discouraging but I will keep it up. I'm just tired, mentally and physically.
I'm tired of being the prime caregiver of my mother. It is difficult when we are out and she has a 'bathroom' issue. I go prepared but that doesn't make it that much easier. I guess I shouldn't complain but it is very tiring. And with her Alzheimer's she doesn't even know who I am. Oh well it is almost time to get her ready for bed, then I'm going to take a long bath with lavender Epson salts so maybe that will help me relax.
I just want the weight to come off quicker!

It is very normal to be tired with/of a situation like this. You don't have to feel ashamed of it, you're only human! It is very, very tough and only people that have been there can understand it. You're not any less of a daughter for being exhausted. Actually, the fact that you took the responsibility of being the prime caregiver of your mother shows a lot of maturity of you and respect for your mother.
And about the weight, it's going to be hard but if you keep focused I'm sure you'll make it! Have a nice bath and lots of luck on your journey!

What a wonderful gift you are to your mother. I took care of my mom for 13 years. I benefited greatly from a caregivers support group. It seemed impossible to find the time, but each time I attended I was glad I did. I hope you're able to enjoy your bath and rest when you can.

Alzheimers so hard to cope with. It is so hard for the family. Have had friends go through it. I understand as far as the caregiver it gets trying, wears one down, as I was when my mom with terminal cancer. It s exhausting but take care of yourself. I used to feel guilty taking care of myself and my dog but I had to or I would not be able to help her.

thank you all for your kind words. It is a better day, so far..... I hope to relax today. I have planned on bringing mom to a play but we will see how things go. It is just a preview of the plays being preformed this season. I may just stay home and clean out drawers & closets, something I've wanted to do for awhile.
