Still waiting!

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Arrrgghhh! I am falling behind on my Sparking! I haven't been logging my food and keeping track of the teams as well as I had been. This is hurting my weightloss... I have had a few moments of emotional eating this past week. It's so hard to break that habit. I'm so stressed out and just want to eat and eat and eat!
So for those of you who don't know my husband has been in Iraq for the past 14 1/2 months and is scheduled to return soon. Living in this Army community has been tough the last few weeks because some of the husbands have already returned. Everywhere I go I see wives with their husbands or daddys out with their kids. For some reason it's taking forever to get all the soldiers home. I'm just so tired of waiting and hoping that this week is the week...found out today that I have about another week...grrrrr....I know- what's one more when we've done 14 months! But my 3 year daughter sees the other soldiers out walking and tells me to pick them and put them in my car because she thinks it's her daddy...And a 7 year old who is an emotional wreck because his daddy doesn't pick him up from school...
Anywho! I had vent a little- blogging is better than eating a bag if chips! I just need to stay strong for a few more days and move onto P3 and keep myself in check...

    Hey there! I didn't know your husband has been over in Iraq!!! That HAS to be hard! The kids and I get stressed out when my husband is gone for a few days....can't even imagine 14 months! You have done great though and as each second passes, it is one second closer to when you and the kids will be in his arms again!!!! What a wonderful moment in time that will be! Until then, don't throw away all the hard work you have done and all the achievements you have achieved with emotional eating. I KNOW it is MUCH easier said than done........I am a stress eater too..............

Sit down and write a letter to your hubby.....plan the first night back home with him......get the kids involved and have them make posters to hang up around the house.......get his favorite meal planned............go for a walk with the kids.............go shopping for a sexy nighty to surprise him with........keep busy doing fun and exciting things. Don't sit around the house...that is when the emotional eating can really get ya. Maybe get rid of your "red light" foods right now so they are not even there as a temptation for you.

You CAN do it!!! And I can't wait to hear about how it goes when your hubby gets home!! How exciting!!
