Thank you for keeping your fingers crossed and the good wishes everyone!
Well, I have mixed feelings bout the weekend.
Friday, Husband called at his usual time and said he was going to go hang out with friends.
Then he ends up working a double-shift and not being able to go out.
Saturday, he informs me that he's going out with friends on Sunday, despite his saying previously that he was going to spend the entire weekend with me.
I'm hurt and feeling abandoned/rejected. He's been working double-shifts and I've not seen him all week.
I take some time to myself to work on my labyrinth and try to pick up my PMA so I can be positive and happy.
Throughout the rest of the evening, I tell him that I'm happy he's with me and that we are spending time together.
Sunday, he leaves around 2 pm and doesn't come home till 2 am.
In the mean time, I've plotted several things to keep me busy and keep me happy.
My parents drop by with food and Diet Coke.
They noticed Husband's car is gone.
Mom asks where he is.
I told her he's out with friends.
She asks why I didn't go with him, and I have to admit that I wasn't invited.
She's upset for me and I have to defend him (I hate that...I'm feeling abandoned and sad and I have to defend him! )
So, he gets home at 2:00 am and snuggles up to me.
He asks if I missed him.
Then he tells me about the great time he had with friends.
He asks what I did while he was gone and I told him about my interaction with my parents.
He says, "If you want, you can come next time I hang out with my friends."
I say, "Thank you, I'd like that."
He tells me that they asked about us and how we are doing. He said that he told them we are very happy and having tons of great times together. I told him I really appreciated him telling them that. He also said that they said he should bring me next time.
And he also said that he was going to leave work early tonight so that we could spend some time together. And he borrowed Final Fantasy 10 part 2 from his friends. I'm really excited about that!
So...sorry folks...this has been a bleh posting.
Part rant, part whine.
And I know I wouldn't be so sad/feel so abandoned if I was going out with my own friends.
So, I'm going to start moving out of my comfort zone!
Well, something amusing happened over the weekend.
Husband and I went to pick up Subway and brought it home. He knew I was really hungry and suggested I start munching on my Doritos.
I told him I wanted to wait until we were home, because watching tv and eating at the same time is one of my favorite things to do.
He asked, "Do you like it better than sex?"
I responded, "Gee...I don't know..I sorta forget what that's like."
He laughed and said he'd remind me.
Well, last night he did!
So...folks, I've been complaining enough.
I'm going back on Weight Watchers. Atkins is not working for me.
I lost 40 lbs with Weight Watchers and now I've gained it all back.
Husband asked last night why I stopped doing weight watchers. I told him I hit a plateu and just couldn't drop below no matter what I did. So, I had switched to Atkins.
Then I realized, that plateu was way before I started getting my thyroid medication increased.
My prescription has been significantly increased and I bet now I won't hit that plateu!
So, I'm going to kill 2 birds with one stone.
I'm going to go rejoin Weight Watchers and attend the meetings...and make some friends!
PMA is back up and I'm excited about this change I'm making.
Things that work:
1> Frozen meals.
Lean Cuisine has the Weight Watchers points. They are normal sized. And they are delicious! I tend to stick to a way of eating much better if it's convenient.
2> Exercise.
I feel better and happier when I exercise consistently!
3> Attending Meetings.
Hanging out with a group of like minded people, sharing our successes, and being praised each time I get on the scale all help tremendously!
4> Belonging to a wonderful group.
I enjoy being a part of Weight Watchers. I like feeling like there is a place that I belong.
5> Goals.
I love having goals to strive for and reach! Makes me feel so confident in myself!
