I know this blog is supposed to be about my weight loss journey and the trials and tribulations that I encounter but today was an emotional day so I'm "releasing" the baggage here. Buckle up!
First, I was upset because my boyfriend is leaving for a few days to attend an orientation for his new job. I miss him bad. He's been great help for me before, during and after surgery and now he's not here. I take him for granted sometimes but I miss him like hell when he's gone. Therefore, I was at home today ALONE and without the luxury of eating food to comfort me. My mind kept going to the fridge even though I wasn't even hungry. Some days are worse than others in that battle and today was NOT GOOD. Food was on my mind!
Next, it doesn't help the recovery when you get a text message from your boss about work and more "cutbacks". In August, we lost a line of business. September was layoffs. This month...who knows. Make me wonder if my job is secure. That's not what I needed right now. I'm gonna give that situation to God cause it's more than I can bear.
The last thing of the day that really broke me down was a phone call from my 1 and only true BEST FRIEND - Capreece. She lives in Harrisburg, PA but we have been besties since Northside High School Freshman Year. We haven't been keeping in touch like we should because we both have busy lives and kids. I was glad to get her call but saddened by the news I got. She had been trying to reach me for a month. Finally, she contacted my mother who gave her the number to reach me. She was calling to tell me that her husband, Andrew, was killed in a motorcycle accident a month ago today. I couldn't speak. I couldn't even come up with words to comfort my bestie. She and I went through so much together and here I am speechless. After the phone call, I went to my room and just sat for a few minutes to process it. I googled the newspaper obituary to see a glimpse of his pic. I was in their wedding in Belhaven. I'm Aunt Meeka to their 3 kids.
Sorry this entry isn't about my protein shakes and pain today. But just to get that info in my pain level has decreased a notch and I'm getting around better today. I also received individual protein packs from Unjury.com in the mail today so I'm gonna be trying something different tomorrow. Only had 4 out of 6 meals today because I just couldn't get it in.
Thanks for reading this blog and just a thought...don't take your loved ones for granted
