Newbie needs help:husband left Saturday

[T-boned]

Glad to hear you have some good support in your friends. It would help if you had one or two who had already been through this.

I have two friends who are divorced and provide excellent support for me, but both left their husbands so they don't have the perspective of being the LBS. So that's a little limiting. But they both know my husband well, were at our wedding, and are just as baffled by it all.

Yeah, I've been backsliding for the past four days. Tonight it feels like I lost almost every bit of ground. It's just part of the cycle - first you make progress and feel in control, then next comes the drop down. At least I know, well I think I will be on the rise again - I just hope it happens tomorrow. I don't want to be in the trough any longer.

Just keep doing what you're doing - sounds like you are on the right track. Feels like an eternity, huh?
