I'm a 52 year old mother of 3, grandmother of 2, hospice nurse, writer and artist. I have spent my life taking care of everyone but myself. It's now me time. I have made taking care of me more of a priority.

I have recently discovered something about myself...When life gets tough, with deep emotional issues, I go off the wagon, and eat whatever I want. It blows all the strides I had made, then back to square one, or almost back there. I need to learn how to stay diligent in eating right inspite of what life throws at me.

I also am having a hard time getting moving. I have the exercise equipment at home, a free gym at work, a free swimming pool at work, and every opportunity, yet I don't. I need motivation.

I also need to stay focused and on track for the long haul. Does anyone else have problems with these things?
