Default Taking a break...

I feel like such a complainer. I'm just doing miserably at all aspects of my life, it seems like I just can't get anything together. You've all been such a great help, and I've enjoyed hearing about your days, and your amazing advice. But, I think I'm going to try and take a break from everything, not just this one, but a lot of other stuff. But I just wanted to let you all know. I'll probably be lurking, but I'm going to try to focus on other things. I've found that its not just the weight, I have really horrible esteem and depression issues, and my priorities are so whacked right now, that I stay up until 6am or 7am everynight dreading the next day. It feels like I'm letting all these problems take hold of who I am... I'm unhappy and failing in all aspects of my life. So, I'm going to try to pick myself up a little, and remove a lot of distractions. Like I said, I'll probably still read the board, but I'm mainly just apologizing for leaving my amazing CHALLENGERS! You ladies are amazing, you're all doing so well. You're unstoppable. Just reading the workouts and minutes you all log is incredibly inspirational! But I think I'll be pulling myself out of the challenges, and just trying not to worry about it. It was becoming another part of my life I was feeling like I was failing at... Ah, I'm such a DOWNER... My apologies!

Thanks guys!

Also: Don't worry! I've been turning to my family and my faith, and I'll let you guys know I have an incredible support system. I just have/had all these really negative people and things in my life, and I've been trying to remove myself from them. Which, is hard. Currently, all my "friends" hate me because they don't "understand" me anymore, and I just need to get rid of people who aren't supportive... and this is turning into some neverending RANT!!

Good Luck Ladies!!! And Gents!!!

Take care of yourself, sweetheart. I so understand where you are coming from and I think you are making a very mature decision. Sometimes we have to take breaks to take care of ourselves.

I hope to see you back on the boards soon.
