Life is Like Therapy... Real Expensive & No Guarantee

Thanks again for all your comments and positive words. I survived my grandmother's viewing and funeral. Even gave th eulogy and got through it without out breaking down, at least until the end. I basically did everything (on behalf of my mother) or was the contact person for everything. Although it was stressful, I think it was better that way. I was super busy so I didn't have time to think or emotional eat. I was worried about my eating, mainly b.c I know me and I emotionally eat. But I kept… Continue

Thanks so much for all your positive thoughts and comments about my grandmother's passing. Today was emotional but I did ok food wise. Not the greatest but Ok. I have to remember I won't gain 105 lbs overnight no matter what I eat. We had to pick out the casket.

The out-of-town family arrives tomorrow. It'… Continue

My grandmother passed away yesterday. It's still awkward to say those words and have it be about my Ma. She had been ill for some time and we knew it would be coming.

Thank goodness there's nothing "dangerous" in the… Continue

OMG, last night was bad. Food wise I did well during the day. I worked about 10 hours and I made sure I packed enough snacks to hold me along with my lunch. I had a plan for dinner (for myself anyways) until I walked in the door. DH was off with the kids and he got Domino's pizza (now we just had pizza from a local place (which I LOVE) on Friday). Plus, he stopped at the store for juice and he bought ice cream. Not the Breyer's reduced stuff I have been buying for the last 15 months. No the man,… Continue

It has been a LONG while since I posted. I have to admit I've been in a really bad funk with everything we are experiencing financially. And unfortunately, it is effecting my food intake and motivation. I did not go to a meeting this past week and the two weeks before there were gains. So I am doing my best to stay OP and do what is needed to get back on track. I started back full time this past week. I'm still not happy but it is what it is. I just hate being away from the kids as long as I am… Continue
