A lil over 9 mos out

Mar 24, 2010

Wow, I can't believe it has been almost 10 months. I have lost 90 pounds since surgery, and 130 pounds since my highest weight! I can believe it. I am struggling some now with my eating habits, but it is all due to stress. I am going through a divorce and have been seperated for 2 months, and stressed at work and boy do I want to eat junk and drink alcohol. I have been doing better with the stress eating at work, once I started bringing my own snacks. But I never realized until now how much I eat at work when under pressure. I am very glad the surgery has caused me to be more aware of why I eat the way I do. As far as the drinking, I am really working on that one. I usually want to have a drink when I get home, the getting used to not having my husband and step children in my life is really difficult, and the anxiety makes me want to have something to ease the pain. I hope I can quickly come out of this. I know divorce is difficult and it makes it even more difficult when your usual choice of comfort, which is food, is not an option. I am trying to work on praying more and stopping before I eat it. I have also noticed that I am not on my vitamins like I used to. I am trying to get back on track with that as well. The divorce has caused me to lose a lot of the structure I had in my life, and I am trying to get a new structure. Once I do I think it will be smooth sailing. Well that is it for now, I hope that by the next time I post that I have improved in some of these errors. My 1 year anniversary is coming near and I hope to be just as happy with my results.
