I've had one of the worst days ever in my life...

[zurgswife]

Beginning this AM a family member was discussing how there was no point being around any more...it didn't matter...you went to hevean for eternity so why stick around any longer...

So, I took most of the day off to spend with the relative and just try to have a mello day with them, spent the day window shopping, went to lunch....Just no brainer stuff....

But I managed to eat lunch out without doing to much damage...BBQ ribs...but other then sauce no unplanned carbs...(boy I would have loved a plate full of the frys I was served)

I was relieved later in the day by another family member so I managed to visit my last client and make a few dollars...but only drank water...need to go to the Drug store prior and the candy bars were calling my name but I resisted....

This evening ate my planned dinner...but not the salad...was only minimally hungry...but my head was pounding due to the added stress of the day....

I got cravings at about 8pm...but I ate my scheduled salad from dinner and NO OREO'S....boy I wanted the OREO'S....

So, If I can stay focused to day....The next 10 weeks should be cake....

I'm sorry that you have a family member who is having some depression problems. How lucky for them that they have you to help them out. I'm impressed Kimball.

As far as you having a bad day, though, I've got to say that although you had a lot of stress you actually had a terrific day.

For heaven's sake you were a total success today in the middle of a very uncomfortable situation. I have to tell you that I am truly impressed. You not only helped your family member who sounds like they were really in emotional trouble, but you helped <b>yourself</b> too.

Honestly, Kim, you have my admiration, you truly do. I don't know that I could have been as strong as you were today.

I'm so very proud of you.

Hey, Kels, you need to design some kind of WISH purple heart clippie. For WISHers who make it through days like this without giving in to stress eating

I think Kimball just earned one today

I am soooo proud of you!!!! Even with a horrible day you stayed strong!!! You did not give in!!!! You are truly a strong person!!!! WHat an inspiration!!! I wish you the best of luck for the next 10 days!!! You can do it I know you can!!

That took amazing strength today! You were able to help your relative and that is a very giving thing, but I am sure also drained you quite a bit. God Bless You for taking the time to spend with him/her. I am sure it made a big difference. And you did wonderful on your plan. sometimes when life feels out of control, it is good to be in control of something. Good for you for keeping focused.

I am so proud of you, Kim!! You did so good with all those temptations everywhere...I am not so sure I would have been able to control myself with the Oreo's!

Sorry you had a long day, sending lots of pixie dust and hugs to you!

I send my wow- you did it through that stress- I would have caved you made a great statement to me today. And isn't it such a good feeling- for your relative you were there and for yourself - you jumped a really, really high hurdle today bet you never thought you could have made it - sounds to me like you did a fantasic job with a hard situtation you were dealing with. Will be thinking of you as you go through the next few days too.

wow

It sounds to me like you and I ought to watch each others posts VERY carefully! Last week after you posted you had a bad headache- I got a bad headache. Yesterday I had an awful day, today you had an awful day. Let's keep careful watch to see who's first next- ok? Maybe one of us can head it off at the pass.
I am very impressed with your ability to handle pressure with grace and compassion. What a woman! Not only that, but you BEAT the urges and overcame them. GOOD FOR YOU! That's a tough thing for a person to do, but you did it. You excercised great control! Now, don't you think you can get through just about anything? I think you can.

I'm sorry that you had a bad day and to hear about your relative. But I also want to say you did great! If there were fries sitting in front of me, they would have been gone!!!!! I love fries, they are my downfall! You did a good job and should be very proud of yourself . I hope you have a better day today .

 

[zurgswife]

Thanks everybody....

and Karebear your on...

Congratulations on making it through such an awful day with so much strength and courage. I truly hope that your relative will start to turn around and be able to overcome the depression. I admire you for your ability to cope with something as horrible as that.

Here's to today being much MUCH better!

I'm sorry you are going thru a difficult time with a family member right now. But if there is a silver lining in any of this -- it is the fact that you have gained strength in your eating plan. Strength to overcome --- You can do it! I am proud of you for what you accomplished yesterday.

That does sound like a really awful day. And yes, if you can stick to your plan on a day like that then good days will seem easy. You were very sweet to help our your family member today.
