Fisherman's Prayer: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast,I then most humbly pray, when in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP!

Emotional Eating

I have been SOOOOOOOOOO out of control this week! I can not stop eating and making very bad decisions on what I do eat. I had the emotional eating under control and I was in control of it until 2 weeks ago. The stress and anxiety of all the surgeries, the fact that I have cancer, and the radiation still ahead has totally unraveled my life. Come Saturday when it is time to weigh in I will so pay for those decisions I know I will have a gain this week. Sunday I am restarting and taking back that control. Its too late to do anything about it now to stop a gain from happening on Saturday so I am just going to ease my way back into and keep praying to God for guidance and strength. Of couse in another week I will have no choice anyway because I will have to be on the low iodine diet before and after radiation. I have also let the fatigue take control this week and havent worked out at all I have been in bed by 830pm slept all night and still wake up tired. I just have to see it through the doctors said it will be this way until I can start snythroid after radiation. So along with taking back the control of eating on Sunday I am also making a commitment to workout even if it is just 20 muinutes a day I have to do something. Bruce says not to that I need to conserve my energy. But there is no energy to conserve so I might as well just push through the tiredness and keep going, even if I fall on my face out of exhaustion. I was so excited about starting to run again not the thought of running makes me want to fall down and cry. I am getting a new treadmill in the next 2 weeks so I may just wait until I get that one before I start because it it a totally different one than the one I have and may have different effect on how and run and the energy for it. Now I have to go take a nap before I have to go back to work.....God please bless me with the energy to get through this day and to get my life back!

I am Blessed!

Shelly, you can come through this and you will. Don't let this hill become a moutain as far as eating goes. Take this time to be good to yourself because once you are well people will start expecting things from you again and your personal time will be harder to come by. I am praying for you girl.
