Hi GG,
Thanks, my hubby comes back home on Jan. 4th '08. I am planning to TRY and fly out in November but we'll see...it's kinda expensive. Plus I also want to see him graduate from the academy in January so that would be two trips like only a month apart...and I ain't made of money.
I noticed the other day how I all of a sudden started to think...oh if I have a little bit of this I bet I'll feel better. Actually it wasn't not that explicit...it's weird...it's like I think of the food I want and then a feeling of comfort is connected which makes me want the food even more. KWIM?I've got some protein shakes in the fridge but they don't look to appetizing...hehe.
OOOH Guess what? I got JOB! (Just today too) It's part-time but I think it's perfect and the pay ain't bad either...especially for part-time. I am totally surprised & nervous & excited about this. I am going to be a part-time English Language Learner Teacher. It almost happen like you said about the job you have now...things aligned for me. It's really strange how things work out...if I tried to explain it this response is going to be way too long.
Thanks again for the support...it means a lot to me.

Thanks Terri! I do I miss him lots and lots. I've been trying to do stuff like go out to the mall and just walk around or work...lol...but it's always the evenings/nighttime that get me. It's when I feel the saddest. No one to cuddle with or watch tv shows...I'm not used to it at all. I appreciate your advice...thanks again.

Thanks Loretta...I miss him very much. I try not to focus on how lonely I feel and how much I miss him because otherwise I think I'd cry everyday. I've only done it like 4 times. My hubby will be gone until Jan. 4, '08.
I have been snacking on things like apples, bananas and 100 calorie packs...but it can add up so that's why I worry. The other bad thing I've been allowing myself to have, even though its been a sip here or sips there...is SODA. I really don't want to start up on those. Oh look...one sits right in front of me now...I must throw it away.
Thanks again...I need the support...it's very much appreciated.

I'm sorry you are missing your hubby so much when does he come home?
Food was BAD for me this past summer and early fall, too. I just eat way too much of the wrong stuff. I have been lucky and mostly remained the same [I think I lost 4 pounds over the summer, but I gained 5 since LAST WEEK]. Tonight I start aquasize and I'm really excited about the exercise.
The eating ... I don't know, it's just not any easier now to say no than it was before surgery. The only thing is that I've been down the lose and gain 100+ pounds road before and I know I can't do it again.
My plan is always to just go back to basics, I love my protein shakes, I think they make me feel more satisfied thru the day so I can eat more easygoing for dinner. Only I've been out of them for over a month :P I'm going to order them from online RIGHT NOW. Today I also bought some ready made ones to get me thru till my mix comes in the mail. I know the first few days will be the hardest, because I've gotten used to grazing a lot.
I dunno, I wish I had better advice.
XOXO
