The challenge I'm facing is trying to balance my goals. As well as care for my mother. My doctor wants me to focus on me. However, it's hard when I can't rely on my brothers to help out.😔 So my stress level is definitely at an all time high and my journey has slowed. I don't know how to balance the two but I'm trying and that's all that counts. Consistency is key in any situation. So I'll keep trying until things balance themselves out. CW:306.8lbs Goal for the week:304lbs. Coming off of shark week, so I know it's water weight.🤷🏽‍♀️ 

Hang in there, Cutey! Is there any way you could have a friend help you? Buy your groceries or prepare some healthy meals for you? Even just proportioned snacks that you can grab and go? Let your friends know that you’re needing some extra help & encouragement while you are taking care of your mom. It’s hard to ask for help. But you can do it and friends will appreciate an opportunity to help you! Often times people want to help but they don’t know what to do. Let them know. As for your brother, just know that he might not step up to the plate as much your mom needs him to. it might piss you off and hurt her, but he just won’t... talk to a trusted friend about that too. So you can release your feelings and not get burnt out by bearing the brunt of the care taking responsibility . 🤗 hugs and love and prayers in this difficult time. ❤️ 

Another thought with the brothers is to set clear expectations and boundaries. Bro #1 does 2 days a week, Bro #2 takes 2 days, and you’ll do 3 days a week. 

I know what you mean CC. It's hard caring for your parent and still trying to take care of yourself. Not having any support doesn't help any either. Just try and remember to make time for yourself because stress is nothing to play with. Just know I understand what you are going through because I'm going through it too. I believe in you and know you can do it.  

Take of yourself the best you can right now, CC, but also don't be hard on yourself if sometimes you're worried or busy taking care of your mother too. I'm sorry she and you are going through a hard time, but I know you will keep seeing results and will get there eventually. 

Have a great week Cutey!
