I feel blue :(

Feel free to ignore this. I just have to write it down to rationalize things......

I have a lot going on at the moment and I feel like such a failure.

My Grandma is in hospital dying from kidney failure...it pains me to see her suffer.
My Father in law has depression and is a constant worry.
I am seriously overweight and finding it hard to stick to my diet with all that is happening around me. I suffer with self loathing issues, so dieting and getting healthy is important to me. Believe me this forum has done wonders for my self confidence....so I know deep down I can do it. I just need a kick up the butt, and some hugs.

/self pity

Aw Glitz, I'm genuinely sorry to hear things aren't so crash hot at the moment, I do hope things improve. It's funny (in a sad way), I have a similar situation at present but quite the opposite problem weight-wise. Please don't be too hard on yourself, you need to be kinder to yourself to realise your goals (it sounds corny but it's true, having learnt the hard way

).

Take care, if the diet thing doesn't work one day, there's always tomorrow as a new slate. Very sorry to hear about your relatives though.

Hey honey,

Sorry to hear about your Grandma. Mine was in hospital from November 2003 to Feb 2004 (when she died) after suffering two strokes and a mild heart attack due to smoking. It broke my heart as I had lived with her all my life and we were sooo close. All you can do is be there for her, see her as much as possible (I regret not visiting mine more often) and prepare for the worst. At the moment it will seem like the end of the world if anything happens to her, but trust me, it does get easier after a while (it's been just over two years since my nana died and it still hurts, but I've learnt to remember the good times instead of focusing on the fact that she's gone). Do your best to make her last weeks/months really special, this will give you even more to remember!

As for your dad, do you know why he is depressed? Was there one major event that caused it or is it lots of things? I think that the best thing to do for him would just be there for him! Try and get him to talk about things and do things for him, buy him presents, take him out with the rest of his family, encourage him to get out and do things... he will gradually start to realise that life is too short to be sad all the time!

Your weight... I'm in the same position as you, I find it really hard to lose weight and get upset about it and it's a vicious circle! I'm totally hypocritical and need to follow this advice myself, I know it's a lot harder to do than to say it but y'know. Maybe think of some sort of way to get yourself out and exercise - do you have a dog? Take it for more walks! Do you like cycling... or even just promise to get out and walk more - summer will make this a lot easier! I'm forever starting one diet or another, but quickly give up... sorry, I'm going round in circles here but this is what thinking about dieting does to me! lol.

Anyway, is that you in your avatar? You look gorgeous to me, honestly.

If you ever need to chat PLEASE contact me, I will be more than happy to chat, listen and help as much as I can.
