This is an important topic for many of us who are responsible for others. It is easy to lose ourselves in our devotion to our family, work and social groups. I wonder if it isn't somehow easier for me to focus on them, than to address my own issues of nutrition and exercise. |

Lovely article - thanks for sharing. I especially like your analogy at the end re life and a checking account - that has created some mental pictures and more with me. I'll need to get my head around that and come back stronger - thanks again. |

I really needed to read this. I do sooooo much others and wonder why I am having a hard time losing weight. I should have lost 50 pounds 4 years ago but I haven't. I've been putting everyone else before myself and I'm making an effort to change that. |

i needed this article. as a medical student, there's so much pressure to get all your work done, study constantly, and work hard so that you can one day help others. a noble goal, but lately those expectations are affecting my wellness. i hate that i'm still having to choose between staying caught up on lectures and sleeping/exercising/etc. i keep trying to tell myself that if i run myself into the ground now i won't be of any use to anyone later on. |

This article hit home for me. I always done for others. Somethings are so little, but time cosumming. I always felt I was rushing, putting 24 hours into 10. Yes doing for others and not for myself. I pulled out the stop sign and said somewhere in my day I have to have time for my needs. I have found time since joining sparkpeople. Time to eat right ,time to exercise, which is real time for my socializing. I still do for others,but some times if it doesn't need to be done right than it can wait, my health can not. |
