Before After

Sticking to My Guns . . .

Well it has been 3 days since "the incident" and I am sticking to my guns.  I will not allow his insecurities to define or destroy my character.  Yes, he says he's sorry but sometimes sorry isn't enough.  I need for him to understand how deeply I hurt.
 
Now, all of this creates an issue for me . . . as I am a stress-eater.  I am trying my very best to be conscientious of my eating habits . . . and health.  I just can't and won't give away the power over my future . . . Shouldn't my first love be "me?"
 
Thanks for listening.  Any tips on handling stress-eating is greatly appreciated . . .

What a week...

Sorry about all the stress.  Wish I had a tip for stress-eating management that worked.  If I did... I wouldn't have any weight left to lose.
 
I'm sorry things have come to this point... Try and love yourself and your kids, more than you dislike your husband's current behavior and insecurities.  That will be the secret to coming out whole.
 
Loving yourself is key...  And forgiving yourself for any mistakes you might have made in thought or action is right up there, too...l

GirlNextDoor,
 
Thank you for your comments.  I am struggling, but I am determined to save "me" somehow.  As women we are constantly putting ourselves on the back burner and Franma points out in her post regarding stress management. 
 
Today I am surviving, but, tomorrow begins a new week and I need a plan that involves "me."
