Funny How Life Changes ......
Apr 30, 2010
I was just thinking to myself that it's funny how quickly life changes our whole surroundings as time goes by. I remember just near Christmas time this past year my whole world was crumbling....was married in February of 2008 and by Christmas, had discovered my new husband was a full blown alcholic who had never really recovered. Had to get a restraining order and filed for divorce. Was legally divorced as of February 22, 2010. The same month we had got married in. We married on Valentine's Day. It went from a romantic whirlwind to tragedy all in the same year. But, you know what? I didn't turn to food for comfort. I was so proud of that! In the midst of everything falling apart around me, I DIDN'T fall apart. Food was always my comfort in the past. Not any more!!! What an exciting discovery! That proves to me that WE CAN RETRAIN OURSELVES TO THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT FOOD!!!! We are creatures of habit. And the things we do daily are usually the things that we will just keep right on doing often times without even thinking about it. We just become like robots with our daily habits, including the way that we eat. I can't say it often enough to myself, thank God for the gift of weight loss surgery and to new beginnings. I now have a new relationship with a man that I have worked with for a year and a half. Very sweet man who is so good to me. It will be a long time before I ever think about marriage again though. This last one really taught me a lesson about jumping too quickly into marriage. But it just amazes me to look at how quickly things change in my life over time. If you are unhappy, just wait, God's got something better for you around the corner. Just be patient. And don't take it out on yourself by eating things you shouldn't. That's like punishing yourself on top of the sorrow you are going through. Life is good, God is good. Things always get better!!!! Nothing is forever except God and His love for us. I'm learning day by day to love myself.
