Emotional mess- venting to put things in perspective



Recommended Posts

Excuse my rambling, my real life friend list is kinda short and I just needed a safe place to let some things out

Unlike many when I'm emotional I have a hard time working up an appetite. I can't even force myself to eat which is why I still rely heavily on liquid calories/protein drinks.

Having some financial issues which is putting stress on my marriage. Nothing we won't work through.

Fortunately I am gainfully employed and have been able to work lots of OT. I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I am physically healthy and mentally in tact

Going to try to eat a nice juicy steak & some shrimp.... Well about as much as my pouch will let me, which isn't a lot... Then go to gym and work off some of this stress with some barbells then come home and take a long hot bath followed by a glass of wine...

Hopefully will sleep well because I have an early group run session tomorrow

The bills will still come in regularly. The kids will still drive me crazy. The world will not fall off its axis if I go loco so I may as well live to the best of my ability for today. I'll worry about tomorrow when it gets here knowing I have a game plan and more than a mustard seed of faith

I'm up about 3 pounds which is well within my comfort zone. I'm in maintenance and not going to try to eat at deficit to combat it. Wish those pounds would keep me warmer though, my heating bills would appreciate some relief

I think your doing just fine................I think that you are experiencing the woes of real life....I think you deserve the right to rant. I feel it was my privilege to read it and admire your will and strength....

Once you hit that gym.........Work it off!!! You will feel better kid! ;) Well at least that is what everyone tells me.....

Sometimes life hits us a little harder than we'd like, doesn't it? Sounds like you have an amazing attitude about it, though!
And I hear you on the heating bills ... This winter has been BRUTAL so far!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
