Thank You
Ya all are amazing, caring people. Thank you so much for your responses to my post yesterday. I appreciate every word probably more than you will ever know. I did make it through the day, but I must say that it has been one of my rougher, weaker days lately. I still don’t know how things are going to turn out with hubby, but I’ll try to keep you all posted. Right now, I’m focusing on my children and establishing a steady life for them. They too have been deeply hurt over all of this. They were just coming to the point of trusting him to be there for them as a parent (step).
Ok, I did go to my WW meeting last night. It was just as bad as I feared. I gained 4 lbs over the week. Ouch! I’m vowing to get things under better control though. I blame part of that gain on my bad fluxuations too though. I wasn’t eating when he first left. The second week, I was forcing myself to eat. Then this last week, something snapped in me and it was a two-fisted eating thing for days. Oh well, I guess live and learn.
I’m headed to the grocery store after work today. I have been trying to hold onto every nickle lately, so I haven’t bought groceries in quite some time now. We all know that it isn’t the best on weight loss to be scraping together meals from empty cupboards. Time to stock up on the good stuff I think. I know it will do me good to focus on something else for awhile anyway!! Back to focusing on ME!
I want to thank you all again. You all rock! A lot of very sensitive things were shared with me that I’m sure still hurt a lot of you. All of it in effort to help me and support me in my difficult time. Thank you!!

Girl, you are so strong. I think it’s great that you are going about your business. Those kids will benefit from that big time. I know you’ll knock those 4 pounds out in no time. Hang in there girl.
Beebee, I encourage you to read up on www.marriagebuilders.com
It’s a great Christian site for rebuilding marriages after infidelity and for recovering your soul after such a hurtful blow.
Stay strong. I admire the way you handle this disaster.
You are so welcome. I shared my story because it is therapuetic for me as well.
Beebee, you are doing so good. I remember I lost 8 lbs the first week as well because I couldn’t eat and I felt like I was living in a surreal world.
You will lose the 4 lbs and some.
Do you have a membership to Costco or Sam’s club? Buying in bulk is a bit expensive but you’ll get more for your money. I’ve resorted to using coupons these days and it certainly helps. Every penny and nickel does count in this tough economy.
Hang in there, you’ve been in a rough spot. You are strong and you’re going to make it!
You are a special person.
Keep hanging in there, and being with your children and things will work out in the end. Thoughts with you!
Praying for you. And I applaud your decision to stock up on healthy foods. Your kids are lucky to have such a strong mom. God bless.
I went through some of the same things with eating…not able to hold down a sip of water to eating anything to comfort. So sorry you are going thru this…Its good that you went for the weigh in, and owned up to it. Less damage is done that way. Good for you!
The best time to stock up on the good stuff is when your cupboards are empty. I remember when I was doing super good I went and bought some snack stuff and some plastic bags and i would divided everything into serving sizes and put the bags in the cupboard and when i wanted that i just grabbed a bag. Really kept me from overeating it.
You hang in there, working on yourself and your kids is the best most unselfish thing you can do right now. All things will fall into place in time. Just try not to get lost in the drama, that is the time we do not make good decisions. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
