It's strange because this past year has been the most stressful year of my life due to our son's mental health issues, yet I managed to lose more weight this year than I ever have before
. I thought I had things pretty well under control and I even passed my original weight loss goal just recently....then exam week happened.
I am 29 and I just recently started college for medical admin. After being out of school for 11 years, it was a bit hard to get used to things again. The whole semester has went fairly well until this past week when it came time to study for my first session of exams. They are worth half of my mark. It wouldn't be so bad except one instructor is not very good and, even after asking repeatedly, she won't give me any guidelines on what areas to focus on for the exam. In other words, I have to know the textbook of thousands of terms, some being 25 letters long, and I have to spell them all properly or I don't get credit. The stress of this week is just too much! Its so close to christmas and I am finding myself buying goodies like christmas cake, just because it is that time of year. I really do know better than that. This "maintenance until after christmas" thing is going to turn into weight gain before I know it if I don't smarten up. I have been constantly hungry this past week and so stressed that I have been in tears. I just want to pull though this week, and this holiday season without any, or with very minimal weight gain.
Anyway, I just needed to vent, take a breath and try my best to get back on track without a nervous breakdown
