Comments on: I’ve had some stress. 1.8 pounds worth of it. http://www.cadenceoflife.com/2009/09/ive-had-some-stress-1-8-pounds-worth-of-it/ Chronicling my life and positively loving it, one day at a time Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:23:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Wendy http://www.cadenceoflife.com/2009/09/ive-had-some-stress-1-8-pounds-worth-of-it/comment-page-1/#comment-103 Wendy Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:21:14 +0000 http://www.cadenceoflife.com/2009/09/ive-had-some-stress-1-8-pounds-worth-of-it/#comment-103 All these things certainly are stressful, and 1.8 lbs should be fairly easy (for you) to lose, you're so active and in touch with what you're eating. I think cortisol, that stress hormone, slows down your metabolism but I'm not sure. I know you wrote this post more than a week ago, so I'm hoping you're back on track and feeling better. :) All these things certainly are stressful, and 1.8 lbs should be fairly easy (for you) to lose, you’re so active and in touch with what you’re eating.

You've had a lot going on in the last few months, it's a wonder you've only gained a tiny bit of weight! Don't let too many worries overwhelm you, there's only so much you can really control. It's nice to hear that your mother seems to be doing well though. You’re a true example of the sandwich generation; being in the middle of taking care of (or worrying about) parents and kids.

Today was a good day with my mom. We hung out and had some pleasant conversations and laughed at some silly memories. I treasure these moments with her. I kinda felt for a brief time like I did have my mommy back. She once told me that when your parents are gone, you've lost the only people in the world who truly love you unconditionally. And that's been my experience so far (unconditional love). Bev – you’re so right – it is hard and if someone hasn’t experienced it, it’s hard to imagine. Today was a good day with my mom.

Ugh. Glad to hear that your Mom has done well after her surgery. Yes, dealing with elderly parent/s is an emotional roller coaster at times. Seeing my once spunky and energetic mother go downhill is a killer, so I most definitely understand how all these emotions swirling is sometimes unexplainable to those who haven't reached that point in their lives. Sometimes I just want to scream: I want my Mommy back! Sorry about all the stressors lately, but it seems when one things happens, several things happen. Ugh.
