Husband leaving tomorrow

Tomorrow my husband is leaving for 5 weeks to go to Georgia for Engineer training. I am really starting to get depressed about it, and I really feel the need to "pig" out. At first I thought it was no big deal and it would be a nice break, but the closer it gets the worse I feel about him leaving. We have 3 children and I know that they are going to stress me out like crazy!! I am really scared that all this stress and depression is going to ruin my progress. It is funny because I never realized until recently how much he helps keep me going and on track. Christine

Christine just keep busy. I know it is hard with the kids. Mine are grown but the grandkids remind me when I babysit how hard it is. My husband is going to Texas on the 28th this month for tech school training for the air force reserves. I will be so happy to see him go. He has been a real jerk lately. I will love the break. But I understand what your saying it is hard to do it alone. We will be here for you Hugs Barb

Christine my husband is gone two weeks out of every month and some time it is hard becouse food has been our source of cumfort for a long time but you can look at this one of two ways it can be bad and get you down and do things that are not good for you, but most likly it will only make you sick ( not fun ) or you can see this as an exciting time just think how suprised he will be when he gets back and you are thiner.Get your kids involved go for a family walk instead eating. Make it a goal to shock your husband when he returns home to a thiner wife. Pat

I had surgery 09/26/05. My fiance left in Aug. 05 and came back late Oct. for 10 days. He's off w/the Army in Iraq for 10 more months. One thing I have to look forward to is him coming home and seeing me lighter. It will be hard but I hope you get to talk to him every day. I've gone one wk without knowing if my fiance is okay. Enjoy every conversation w/him and know that even if he's not physically w/you. He's w/you in your heart and supports you 100%. I'm sure you'll enjoy him coming home! Luck to you!
