Dear Notavic
It sounds like you are doing all the right things & well done for losing the weight. Remember there is no quick fix. You are in for a very long ride emotionally.
One of your recent posts mentioned your anger which I too struggled with at first & still do from time to time. This quote really resonated with me by Buddha:-
“Holding onto anger is like grasping hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned”.
As hard as it is, you have to love both yourself & him. Anger is such a wasted energy & so destructive. I’ve read so many books during my separation trying to find the answers & I’m still searching! As you like reading, other than Michelle’s great books, maybe try “The Power the Secret” by Rhonda Byrne; “ The Four Agreements” Don Miguel Ruiz; Louise Hay & David Kessler’s “You Can heal your heart”; “Detach & Survive” Midlife Maze. Andrew Marshall’s books are great too.
Have you tried Tapping/ EFT? It helps me so much with the feelings of overwhelm. Checkout The Tapping Solution.com.
I hope I’m allowed to make all these recommendations, sorry admin if I’m not.
Be kind to yourself & take care Notavic x
