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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
