So as my husband is looking for a new place to live, I am looking for new ways to curb my calorie intake. I tried not to think about my marriage or lack there of today..went shopping with a friend and made healthy choices there.

I did get sucked into a hot dog while at Costco, but I made some good choices. They only carry Pepsi fountain drinks so I usually opt for the regular root beer, but I went against my "Pepsi Sucks" conviction and opted for its diet version and just a few sips. I usually eat a hot dog and half of my daughters pizza slice, too. Today i took a few bites of it and stopped. Could I have done so much better than that? Yes, but its baby steps and I am having grace for myself and where I am in life right now.

Later at Starbucks I really wanted something sweet so instead of a full-fat milk, white chocolate mocha complete with whip,and a tasty dessert, I opted for a skinny latte, no syrup, no whip and a little cake pop..they are yummy and it had 170 calories. Later I went to a birthday party, had a few bites of potato salad and a few bites of a pork rib and left it at that. I got home around 10pm and I was hungry and I had made a pot of 250 cal chili so I ate a small bowl of that with a few grapes and cherry tomatoes.

It was so strange I came home to a talkative husband who was trying to draw me in with a tv series we had watched and rented in the past. I wanted to pretend that all was well and sit with him and watch the show and just be, but that would be a lie. Its so easy to turn a blind eye, not hold to your boundries. Tonight I kept hold. I went to the bedroom and hung some laundry and am now writing you.. whoever is reading and I feel good, healthy in body, heart and mind. I'm sad, but I'm being true to myself and that is my comfort right now.

Its been a week since I wrote..I need to find more consistancy. So life is really not great right now. As I mentioned home life was not good..well that is code for marital problems. After finding out some things about my husband I confronted him with the truth and let him know that we love him, but this behavior is not okay. I asked him to choose that lifestyle or us. I gave him a few days to tell me. When Tuesday came around he said he wasn't going to change. So I asked him to start looking for a new place to live. He said he would. At this point we have agreed on 2 weeks to find a place. All of this was done calmy. Now he is on the sofa and im in the bedroom. Our schedules are night shift/day shift so we dont see each other much, but I just feel so sick inside knowing it all and knowing he didnt choose us.

So my weight, well Ive lost 3lbs, making lots of progress with controlling nightly intake but still struggling a lot in the breakfast area. I have an appt with a trainer on Monday..its a freebie, but he is really great and will give me a good place to start from. Emotionally I have moments of pain that sneak up on me and I hate them, but I have much support in my life so I am doing better than expected. No one is there with me at night though when its the hardest. No one physical anyway, but I do pray and ask Jesus for his comfort and he gives it. I'm going to get through. The support I am getting here is so wonderful as well. I love laying down to bed and checking my inbox and seeing I have new messages. It makes me feel less alone. Plus it helps so much to give others support and encouagement, too.
