Not as bad as I thought.

I always forget the monday night chat, need a string around my finger or something.  The last couple of days has been hard.  Family ended up at my house for dinner last night --made tacos and overate at dinner and then had icecream.  Today I am back on track and feeling better.  Had some more long days at work.  We are short of staff and so that happens a lot.  The truth is it is probably good, means I have no time to get bored so can't use that as an excuse to eat.  Still, it makes me feel stressed out.  Oh well I have a four day weekend coming up.  It always helps to write things out here.  I read what I have written and realize things aren't as bad they may seem. 

Sorry to hear you are under so much stress at work right now, but I am so proud of the way you can turn it around and see some positive in it! That will be a great gift to you after surgery. Sept 17th right? Maybe next time you just haveeee to have icecream, you could consider frozen yogurt instead. BUT still use in extreme moderation.

I'm glad that you share the ups and downs of your journey with us, and allow us to offer support to you!

Hugs!

you hang in there and don't give up. vick

Hang in there friend.  One stumble, just good to get back on track.  I like that you are seeing the positives.  The 17th will be here before you know it.    What kind of work do you do?  I use this board as a sounding board as well.  Working great for me.  Hugs, Kathy
