Well, the last 2 weeks of weight loss have been well, no weight lost. But that is my own doing.
I've been depressed alot the last few weeks. I had some of the worst PMS since the miscarriage, then the worst period since the miscarriage. Every time I have had that "Time of the Month" I get extremely sad and overwhelmed with feelings of anger and grief. This would have been the first month that I did not medicate myself with food.
Except I did it anyway...
Old habits die hard. I began trying to find ways to get food that would help me feel better but where no one in my family would know. I ran errands so I could go get something fried or something chocolatey.
Why?
Why can't I just give this over to God and move on?
Cause I am ANGRY!!! I am angry at God because I had a miscarriage. I'm angry because we got to a small church of about 40 and three women are pregnant. I was in that group for awhile. One of the ladies is due the same day as I am. She lives in the small house right behind me. I see her all the time. It feels like God is playing some cruel joke! I'm not ungrateful for what I have, but I know that probably know one can understand the pain I am feeling right now. It's a grief I have never known.
So I ate my way through it. And now I feel like crap and I'm tired. I don't want to exercise, I don't want to get healthy. I just want to eat.
I'm not sure yet how I am going to get past this hurdle in my weight loss journey. I can tell you I have not gained any weight. But that is just because we shoveled so much dang snow this week!!!!
I just would like to get away somewhere. Where I can think, pray, figure things out without children needing something from me. Without a house screaming "clean me!". Then maybe I can hear God just enough to know what to do next.
Until then, I'm feeling stuck.

You can make it through! I appreciate your honesty. Philippians 4! Prayer, patience, faith. I pray that forgiveness and healing can come quickly so you don't beat yourself up and can keep moving rapidly forward! You can do it!!
ReplyDeleteI do not understand your grief at all, but God does...he has experienced the death of his children too... I don't know that that helps at all, but I do have compassion for you. <3
Hang in there, Amy! Grief really is a process. Know that you're in my prayers.
