Stress eating 2

May 04, 2010

Still trying to keep myself from stress eating, and have lost another one of the 6 pounds I had gained back!  Only one more pound to re-lose!!  It is so hard not to fall back into the comfort of food when things aren't going well.  Yesterday my daughter called and she lost her new job of 2 weeks.  So she and her fiance' are both again looking for work.  I know that we are never given more than we can handle, but sometimes things seem overwhelming.

I continue to look for a part-time job.  I do have an interview next Monday, and am hopeful that this one works out.  I do have a couple of substitute teacher applications out there and one for a summer-only garden-interpreter position for a local park.  One of my good friends had told me how depressed she became after retiring from teaching.  I just feel sad not working for a paycheck.  Helping our children financially is wearing on me, and I just want a job.  But until I find one, I will continue to try to do my best and let God do the rest.

I continue to go to Curves 4 days a week, and there are some motivational sayings decorating the walls.  I wrote one down yesterday - "A positive attitude is a magnet for positive results!"  I will try to keep a positive attitude!
