JUST WANTED TO TALK
Hi all,
I had a rough week last week as I said before. My head hurt everyday last week just so nerves. It was about 3:30 Am this morning before I got to sleep and woke up around 6:30 Am. I thought all no My day will be wasted, to tired to do anything. When I woke up this morning, I ask my husband if he wanted to go to the Gym to work out.
On the way to the Gym the grief hit me hard over my sister, I started crying and when we got to the gym my husband just held me and let me cry. That cry felt so good. Then we worked out and went home and got ready for church. Ole my goodness did the Lord ever work in my life today, I won't go into it because I know this is a
WL sight. but I have such peace in my heart. I knew all that stress was making me want food, my Ole buddy, that I always turned to before, and wants to raise it's ugly head up in my life once in awhile. I just feel like a new person from last week after today. Praise my Jesus.
I love each and everyone of you and I hope I didn't offended anyone, but I had to tell you the peace God has givien me. That means no turning to food for my happiness, keep my eyes on high. I am sure I am going to have my ups and downs,but I have my father to help me and my family here at OH. Ole yea, about to forget to tell you after I worked out at the Gym, my headache went bye bye.
God Bless

Evie your post had me in tears! I can feel your pain and your faith through your words. I can't imagine the heaviness in your heart, as I have never lost a sister, but I do share in your sentiment that the God we serve is powerful and mighty and you know what...HE HEALS!
I'm glad you were given some peace today, and I will continue to pray for you. Sending you a big virtual Christian hug. Take Care.

Sounds like your mom wasn't the only one who needed to look right next to her to find the One who could bring peace! There is only one (in my opinion) who can bring that deep down peace that is beyond all understanding. I'm so happy for your peace of mind, you've been thru the wringer lately! Just keep hanging on and remember who is always right next to you to help, anytime of day!
I'm so glad you could share this with us all...I think everyone has something that "guides" them down a better path in life. Some people believe in a general higher being, some just believe in spirituality, some believe in just making their own decisions the best they can each day. I, personally, am a believer in Christ (even though I am gay I still believe).
I think this WLS journey is def a journey in which we need something to help guide us. A new tool is provided to help our intake...but we need guidance for our heart, soul, and mind. I personally am so glad that I can rely on God's Grace to help me make this decision and help keep me on track thereafter. I'm sure i will have to remind myself of the Grace he's provided...it's free, it's abundant, it's everlasting, and its something that i'd go crazy without!
Thanks so much and keep your head up high! No matter what you believe...just believe in yourself for sure!

The loss of a sibling is so hard. My brother died from the H1N1 flu almost two years ago. My grief and loss has been softened by the past 22 months; but losing someone that you shared childhood secrets, and growing up with is a really big loss. My sweet sister-in-law summed it up by saying, "I had him in my life for 20 years; but you loved him for 50 years."
Nothing prepares you for the feeling like part of you is gone.
I am glad you find solace in your religious beliefs. It is in times like this that a belief in something more than just what is here....really helps.
It was my brother's death that made me commit to this surgery and getting healthy....I figure I have to live for both of us now.
Gentle hugs.

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.

Evie, I have been out of town for a few days and did not have access to OH to hear of your loss. I am so deeply sorry for your loss of your sister and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! May God bless you and continue to give you the peace that He has provided.
