Am I Crazy?

Tuesday, August 21, 2012

So while watching tv last night I broke down crying during an episode of Batman. Earlier I broke down crying while cutting the grass. Why all the crying all of a sudden?

After years of suppressing my emotions they have found me. I am so happy but still sad so is this crazy?

how can you be this happy and sad at the same time?

My sadness comes from being scared I would lose this battle. I am so scared I will wake up fat again. I am scares I will give up on myself again.

I keep reminding myself how great I am doing and how happy I am. I alos remind myself that I didn;t get fat overnight and it won't come back over night. God I am scared of getting it all back.

So I cried in bed last night and after I was done I looked around and saw all was okay. Having feeling will not kill you but NOT dealing with feeling has been killing me slowly.

Today I got up and rode my bike ate my breakfast and went to work. I have had a great day and I have so much to be grateful for. I biked home and prepared a healthy dinner for myself and my family. I had the kids help me so you can imagine how much fun that was. Old catherine would not have been able to deal with 4 kids with her in the kitchen but new Catherine loves watching her children discovering the love of good food.

So do i have any words of wisdom.....no, just feel your feelings, as hard as they may be they are so important. Not dealing with my feelings is what got me into this position.

Have a great day everyone.

PS Remember we are all in this together.

    You know what made you fat. You know what would make you fat again. You are in charge! It is not crazy at all to experience a full range of emotions.... It is crazier to stuff them and keep them surpressed! Be proud! A good night's sleep won't make you fat.... It can only make you healthier! Congrats on the family fun cooking dinner too! That is awesome! The new Catherine rocks!

    this is a great blog. you cried in fear, but you are continuing to live the kind of life that makes it more sure that you will be successful with your goals. You could have cried and convinced yourself that one more bowl of ice cream wouldn't hurt. You are doing a fantastic job! I'm impressed! emoticon

    I always love blogs where real feelings and honesty are flowing. Like this one. Crying, being scared, being in doubt, being happy, laughing, enjoying, are all part of life. Cherish each and every one of those feelings. They are just a proof of you doing what you're supposed to do: Living!
Thank you for sharing your feelings with us!

  Be thankful for the tear dear. After having a very abusive first marriage, I vowed I'd never let him see me cry AND, I didn't. Actually, I stopped crying altogether for most of my adult life after that marriage. I have been praying to God to soften my heart. Lately, if I read a card from or to someone, watch a movie (sad or happy movie), think of something special etc I feel myself starting to tear up. It's a Blessing from God. Let your tears roll. You aren't crazy, you're living. Enjoy life.

    Tears ~ How we cleanse our souls. You are so fortunate that you have changed your lifestyle while your kids are still at home with you. I had to apologize to my adult children ( both overweight ) for not being a better example of health and fitness. I am changing that now, but WOW, you are so fortunate to be making changes, both for yourself and your kids, at an earlier age. The anxiety you have for "falling back" can conversly be your driving motivation to "keep pushing". Stay Positive, you are doing great! emoticon emoticon emoticon
