The Last Dance

Disco is Dead?! Not only had disco been fun...it was also great exercise. That era was over now. Was this the beginning of me starting to pile on the pounds? I had enrolled in nursing school around this time and was putting in some long hours...35 hours per week for the nursing program and 30 hours of week working to support myself. I found I needed more time to study and found it hard to juggle work, school and social life. I was stressed to the max.! On top of all of this my biological mother was ill, she had emphysema. She came to stay with me for an extended visit. This was a very stressful time in my life and I had to go back to working full time and dropped out of nursing school.

This was not what I wanted, and I felt like a failure by not achieving my dream of being a nurse.
Have you ever felt like a failure because you were not able to achieve one of your dreams? Was it a factor in causing you to gain weight? I think it was for me. Remember to always live life...don't just exist. Stayed tuned to the next chronicle. Your friend, Nicki.
