Happy Father's Day!


I wasn't home much today or this evening and I have plans to be gone all day tomorrow. I just wanted to stop in and wish all of the Dad's out there a Happy Father's Day! Dad, if you're reading this, Happy Father's Day to you. I love you! Happy Father's Day also to my friend Ben who is a single dad to two young kids. I hope you have a great day!

I spent time with huby today
he got his big gift early though.
I couldn't be mean and make him wait.

We also called our dads.

hi! i've checked out your site and wanted to ask you since you have lost 100lbs, then gained it back, how did your emotions factor in? looking back what would you have done differently or would you have done anything differently?

was there a point where you realized what was goign on, but actively chose not to fight it?

i ask this bc i have over 100lbs to lose myself and want to know as much as i can so that i dont regain it.

any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!

blessings!

Hi!
Emotions played a big part of my gaining my weight back in the beginning. After my divorce I felt alone and sorry for myself. I felt like I didn't really have any friends and I think I was even a little depressed. Over night my life kinda just did a 180 and I'm not someone who handles big change very well. I knew what I was doing (as far as eating things I shouldn't have been eating) was wrong and I knew as the scale started creeping back up that I needed to get a grip on things. I didn't want to gain the weight, but I really didn't try very hard for it not to happen. Food was my comfort. At some point (I think I had gained about half of my weight back at this point), I really did want to lose weight, but I was too embarrassed to go back to my WW meeting and let everyone see that I had gained my weight back. Looking back, I wish I hadn't cared so much as to what others thought and I had just gone back and done it. But I didn't. I thought I could do it on my own (which I couldn't). If I had it all to do over, looking back now, I certainly would have done things much differently, but since I can't rewind time, I can only learn from the past, work on the present and look towards the future. :)

Thank you soooo much! for your openess and honesty on the issue. :)

we have that trait in common...not handling big change that well. i have been praying over that throughout the years. i should also add to that prayer list: dont regain the weight....lol...i think that will be key or me.
