You know, the most important thing to hold on to during stressful times like this is an upbeat attitude. Even though all of these activities got in my way, I tried to embrace the time waiting around for things, like doctor's appointments and MRIs, and tried to really focus on what I need to do. I have been feeling overwhelmed because the list of things I need to do seems never ending. Ultimately, I realize that in order to maintain a positive attitude, I need to make the list more manageable. So I have boiled it down to one goal: lose weight. And with that one goal, everything should fall into place. Lose weight equals eat healthy (great for fibro), engage in activity (also great for fibro), get plenty of sleep because when I am tired I make bad choices (also great for fibro and Chronic Fatigue), and keep track (this will also improve my attitude because I will see progress).
And there you have it. Yes, I have meds for fibro, exercises, a whole book of what I should do, but now I am going to try to just use this one goal to encompass all the other goals. That way, I don't feel as overwhelmed. I know I can do this.
