[QUOTE="Fran, post: 178735, member: 3"] Wendy, when I feel that sinking feeling that gets triggered by the scale, is in reality a feeling of no control.(in my case). If I get on an eating schedule, not a diet but get some routine going that is more healthful, I am more inclined to self discipline in terms of work, exercise,thinking. boyfriend's work is really difficult but it is also part and parcel of adult life. Not everyone is able to juggle well or assert himself to set limits. I'm not sure that is your problem. If the connection is lost or diminished because of the stressors, he has to want to work on it with you or it will never be his priority. It's always sad that mom's are sick but inevitably they do get sick. It is a fact of all our lives. You being his support so he can care for his mom is invaluable. Give yourself a pat on the back. However,it is not an excuse to push away from you. You have had a new job, college graduation, vacation. I'm sure there is a let down factor from all those highs. Add the scale and I see what happens to me normally. The feeling of being stuck in quicksand or futility. For me it's about taking the first step to regain control of myself and my own well being. It's about pushing through the stuff that keeps me buried in some self pity or sadness and finding the emotional firmer ground so I can take the next step. Anyhow, that's how I picture it and live it. Just thought I would share. : ) [/QUOTE]
