Well, Im baring my soul right now, but, Ive always tried to keep it real in hopes that it helps someone else who may be where I am. This is what I responded to Sagi Kalevs thread with. Its not to get you to feel sorry for me, its to let someone else out there know that they are NOT the only ones and we are here to help. If my dreams were possible, Id reach for the stars and never look back! If I KNEW Id never fail, Id push myself through my limits! Id step over that line called Excuses. My reply: I needed this tonight. Im in a dark place right now. I let stress win. I started taking a prescribed pill to help me with nursing school anxiety (not debilitating, just generalized) and I read something you posted the other day Sagi Kalev, about using pills when there are other, healthier ways (not for everyone, but I KNEW, that was me) to cope & manage stress. Ive never, ever been a pill-person. So, I knew I needed to get off the med and handle it with the tools I already have, including my God, my husband, my coach, my teachers (you), my workouts, and my many friends. I am fighting the terrible withdrawal symptoms this week and emotionally, I am a wreck. I lost so much weight in 2012 and when I entered my clinicals, one excuse after another, I gained a lot of it back over the last 16 months. I am so upset, sad, defeated. Its such a hard thing to own up to as a Beachbody Coach. Its my reality and I think The Lord put this in your mind for me (and hopefully others) to help me out of this pit. When a person has always battled their weight, the pit is a BAD place to be. Thank you for bending down and reaching out your hand (words of wisdom). I will overcome. Im one semester away from becoming a nurse. As a nurse, I need to be healthy and a good example. SORRY to write a novel. Thanks so much to you and Barbie Decker Phd for all your kindness.
