My weigh in last night (up 2 pounds) followed a workout at the gym with another mom, who had just completed filing divorce papers on her DH last night. Turns out her ex is taking the same medication that my DH is taking, so I have been going over and over in my mind if that is something I ought to consider in my DH's current state of mind. And I don't think it is.
And every time I think of eating something, I get really discouraged. Didn't pack my food today at home, so I went to McDonalds to get breakfast, and really, they have some seriously BAD choices for food in the morning. Even the yogurt parfait is half sugar products, and the fruit is so coated with non-browning chemicals I can't eat it, not to mention that grapes give me migraines. Plus I am on strike against corn. Everything has high fructose corn syrup, fructose, modified starch, or some other derivative of corn. Now my stomach hurts, because the egg and cheese I did get are working really badly together in there - ouch! And my head is starting to hurt. Man.
Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're the bug.
And like my friend Beverly said: some days you are flying down the highway of life grooving and your trunk flies open and spreads your baggage all over the road. Thank you for listening - it's helping me to clean up my baggage.

Sorry your having such a stinkie day. I don't know whats going on with your DH, but I hope whatever it is, it gets better. Keep your chin up - I know what its like to be stuck in work, and not have any good food choices. Good luck, and feel better buddy!

Thanks! I talked to my mom - she says she has no advice, but whatever I do she's behind it - love my mom!

Thanks for the buddy invite! Love the line about the windshield and the bug. I see that your number - 163 - is about where I was when I started FS in July of 2008. I had a membership with a different user name from july 2008 - May of 2009. You know what? If I can do it - you can do it too! Those last 5 to 10 are tough but let's take it inch by inch and day by day. Okay? Okay!

You've been having a tough time of it. But you know what? You are still HERE!!! Eventually you'll sort out your choices about marriage and your DH. There isn't necessarily a "right" or "wrong" choice ... all choices have consequences ... some which we can anticipate and others which we will fail to anticipate. You'll figure it out ... I know you will!! All that said, I hope you start to see some light at the end of your tunnel soon ... and that you can find food that is easy to grab and take along to work that doesn't hurt your belly and/or head!! Take care buddy!!

Sorry your day started out so rough! I am a grab-and-go breakfast person myself, of necessity not of choice. Gosh, even my lunch is somewhat rushed. Tonight I've included in your inbox some of my meal plans that have worked for me. Dig deep, Abba, and think about what you really need--understanding, comfort, joy, peace?-- then figure out other ways to meet those needs (girlfriends, clubs, church functions/groups, bubble baths, a good book, music, yoga classes, hobbies, retail therapy, a gorgeous personal trainer???). Feeding our emotions just doesn't really work, you know?! One day at a time, and small steps, good buddy!
