I really need all of you to understand…
I need you all to understand.
I am slowing my pace up on BS for awhile.
I will still be on at lunches and Sundays for the challenge. I am NOT stepping down from the team.
But Ted and I talked, and I have been letting it all stress me out too much.
With all this going on with mom, and then of course my slow computer, it has ended up that I am on at least 4-6 hours at a time on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Plus the time I am on at work.
I try to keep up with the blogs and all, cause I love everyone so much. But I can’t every day.
Mom needs me, Ted needs me, and I just need time to take a breath.
I want you all to know and understand. I love you all so much, and this is hard.
I just need to find a balance. I am going to post this in a blog, too.
Please don’t be angry. Ok?
I will still always be here for you all.
I love you guys, this was a hard decision. But I just can’t do it all. I am not superwoman. But I will always be praying for you and be here when I can.
Doing good today, did my workout, and studying the Jillian book, learning about drinking extra water and the different “Oxidation” body types.
Fascinating, and I love it.
Well I need to go post and I will come back and read some blogs. Hugs!

We all understand I’m sure. You can’t let a site that is supposed to help you end up hurting you or stressing you out. You have to make time for yourself and for your family. I appreciate everything you’ve done and will appreciate the things you are able to keep doing.
That is important to find balance in your life. Buddyslim is important but here only to help you be the best you that you can be so it is wise that you don’t sabatoge your success by not spending enough time with those who matter most to you. You have to know where to draw the line to keep things healthy and balanced for yourself. Good for you! No one should be mad about that.
I completely understand, just take care of yourself and your family. Don’t stress too much. Buddy Slim will be here on the days you log on!:)
Girl - this site is supposed to help you not hurt you - if you are stressed you are not gonna do well on your weight loss journey.
Don’t worry about us, we will take care of each other and you….You don’t have to be online all the time to be a part of this awesome community!!!!
We understand. Home life comes first. Hang in there and pop in when you can!
I think many of us here have problems with ‘addictive behaviours’. If it’s not food, drink, drugs, sex, or shopping it’s buddyslim! I’m not kidding, it seems like I always ‘over do’ things. Even knitting was getting out of control. I must have knitted 80 pair of stockings last year. lol Drop in when you can, we’d all love to hear how you’re doing.
KAMA - Don’t sweat it sweetie. We know you got a lot going on with Mom, Dad and family life.
I just want to let you know I am so proud of you and everything that you have accomplished. Your definetly an inspiration to me.
Don’t you forget us here at buddyslim. We need your sense of humor. Stop in every now and then and take a peak. Lots of luv Jackie.
We all understand. Heck, I have slowed way down on being on here. If not, I would be on here ALL day! Your life has to come first and we all know how that is. I know you will still pop in when you can. YOU are a big part of buddyslim and help to make it what it is.
Kama we understand. You take care of you and family just don’t fall of track. I know this can be exhausting when you try and buddy everyone. My husband gets upset cuz i’m on alot too, i have cut down too, especially on the weekends when he is home. Love you and drop in and let us know how all is doing..
All that is important is that you take care of you and your family right now! Sure we will miss not having you around as much, but we know you will pop in when you can!
You are a great buddy and cherish the support, motivation and inspiration you give me!
Biggest HUGS!
Kama be mad at you? That’s impossible! I totally respect you for putting family first. They are after all priority. It takes a strong, intelligent person to keep everything in perspective. God love you for that! I will miss you greatly but I will just have to deal with it, lol! Maybe you can visit once and a while when you have a chance okay? Have a peaceful family life and I hope you and Ted are very happy. Prayers to you now and forever! Love you Kama.
Girl, we are not going any where….go take care of yourself and when you get the time…guess what…we will still be here. Just remember…we all love ya and think your one terrific lady!!!!
I think Sandy is right on point there. A lot of us have tendancies to overdo things and sometimes have to step back and take a hard look at what we are doing. B.S. is a tool. When it interferes with your happiness , and relationships, it is no longer serving its purpose .It shows how well you are doing , by choosing to get more balance in your life. That’s healthy. You have nothing to apologize for. I have cut back drastically on B.S. for the summer , because I work more hours, and need the time to spend with my family. The good thing about this site, is that there are so many of us….when some step back, others step up. Take care and drop in when it’s convenient. We love you too!
I think you have gone beyond what anyone ever has and more then what anyone would expect. I think it is a good idea to back up a bit, gain that perspective and live how you need to live. Be a peace knowing that your heart beams with support EVEN when you are away taking care of yourself and your life.
Have a good one and it will be good to hear how things are going when you check in. If you happen to disappear for a week I will just assume you are having one heck of a good time.
*hugs*
I just read this blog. Good decision. Sane and sound.
There are times we need to reach out, there are times we need to step back and nurture and love those around us in real life.
Take care of yourself and your family. Be happy.
*HUGS* Go, take care of yourself and your family! We know that you are here for us. I’ve always thought you worked way to hard supporting us all here anyway. :oP
totally missed this yesterday as i wasn’t on all day. i am completely and totally behind your decision. i really believe that while BS is about supporting others it is really about supporting yourself and your health - all of which sometimes means saying nope. you are super caring and generous with your time. turn some of that on you. when things settle down, we’ll still be here
and btw, we of course will miss you, but understand! also, another way for you to be a role model and inspiration!
We are here when you need us! We definitely understand and support you, Kama!
Much love and many hugs!
