CocaLola's Journal, 12 Feb 20

My birthday came and went. Had lots of cake!!! I just ate whatever I felt like for an entire day. Now I am struggling to get back on track again. Still kept to my NO COCA COLA rule! 💪

My son has moved back home after 3 years and I find it quite challenging to share "my space" with others even though it is my son. Mayor changes like this really mess with my head and throws me off course in every aspect of my life. I know this is very hard for most people to understand which makes it even harder to cope with. 😟. It is very hard for me to focus on losing weight when everything around me feels very chaotic. My entire life just feels chaotic right now. I don't deal well with chaos at all, especially if I don't have any control over it.

Feels like I am back to square one with my diet.

They say it doesnt matter how many times you fall. What matters is how many times you get up.

Just feeling extremely overwhelmed.

Happy belated birthday🥳I hope you enjoyed your cake and goodies🎁🎈🎉🎊🎂🥂 Unfortunately we can’t control things around us, but we can control how we deal with stress. It’s not easy, but if you keep pushing yourself, eventually you going to keep making the right choices for you. Diamonds are made under pressure 😉

Happy belated birthday. I think it is good to treat yourself once in a while - I know how it feels to beat yourself up afterwards though. Exercise normally helps with stress management if you can fit it in to your routine (not always as easy as one would hope)

Hope you had a wonderful Birthday. I've started following Corinne Crabtree who lost 100 pounds and her theory is that we have to decide how we want to live permanently and make small permanent changes to get there. So if you want to have cake all day for your birthday every year or some years that's completely acceptable because you know what you're going to eat the rest of the week. You decided no more cola and you really stuck to that, a change that has stuck. I get the space thing, maybe, perhaps co-construct separate time and space with your son so you both decide on the best way to accommodate each other, he'll be going through stuff having moved back and adjusting too - not easy but you're headed in the right direction

Happy birthday! 😃 Best advice is not to overthink and control everything. Let it be. When things get tough just go for a walk or put on some music and dance. Enjoy the present and if you’re feeling overwhelmed. It’s okay, allow yourself to feel. Everything is going to be okay. Wish you all the best 🦋🦋🦋

THANK YOU EVERYBODY! @Jill--- Spot on. I overthink EVERYTHING! I am my own worst enemy. Meditated all morning. Took the day off to just sit around and BE!

Happy belated birthday! Mine is coming in a few days and too will quickly fail. We have too few of them. If your son is a major disrupter of your way of living it sounds like some very structured ground rules might need to be laid down. As a child, he was your responsibility, but as an adult he is a guest, and needs to understand the difference. He sould contribute to the efficiency of the home, not a consumer of your hospitality.

Hi Adam (fellow Aquarius), I said he could stay with me until he settles back in. I have a huge house and there is lots of space. He is a very respectful young man and extremely neat & tidy. Does his own cooking & laundry etc. He is not the problem, I am. I just don't adapt to change in my routine very well. Set in my ways. It is controlling behavior? If I control my environment I feel "safe"? If that makes any sense? (Not actually a great personality trait to have)

I was just worried that he felt like he was moving in for mom to take care of him, which is often the case, glad this is not in your situation. Blessings.

Uh Uh... that aint happening!!! Not this mother! 🙃 He moved from one state to another. Now just working from home. He's an industrial designer. He will get his own place soon. Get tired of his mother's OCD!! 🤪
