It has NOT been a good weekend. We decided at the last minute to have a pizza party for DS's BD, so I spent the afternoon running all over town for everything we needed, didn't have a lot of time to get it all done, and got more and more stressed. My DH was with me for the afternoon trying to help, but I was extremely irritable and not very fun to be around. We finally made it home, got things ready, & friends and family came over and enjoyed the party. I wasn't really hungry and ate 1 slice of cheese pizza and a very small piece of cake with a spoon of ice cream. After everyone left and I cleaned up, I ended up eating 4 more slices of pizza and a big piece of cake with ice cream. I hated myself when it was over, not to mention felt like I was gonna throw up!! But after thinking about what I had done and why, I realized that no, it wasn't because I had TOM (although I'm sure that didn't help!), or because of the stress of the party, but mostly it was because Father's Day was near and I miss my father so badly. This is my 2nd without him, and seems just as difficult as the 1st. At church today someone sang "Daddy's Hands" & I immediately had to walk out. We had a potluck dinner after the service and I did great-not hungry, ate very little, NO dessert though they looked tempting- just wasn't very interested. Great, huh? BUT... I made up for it later at home. 2 pieces of apple pie (sugar free but NOT calorie free) potato salad, another piece of DS's birthday cake, and chicken & pastry. Why do I DO this to myself??? I sit here now worried about dying young like my father, but seem to sabatage myself at every turn to make sure it happens. Sometimes I just don't know what to do, it's like I have no control at times, and I feel like some junkie desperate for her next fix. Other times, I feel good and in control. If I only I could capture that feeling and save it for times when it's needed! All I can do is keep getting up and trying again each time I fall, and keep trying to live in the moment and not worry about tomorrow. But it sure can be hard. I am very grateful for sites like this and for people like you. I want to get to know everyone better, but haven't had much time to get online lately. I'd like to help support you and others and not just be on the receiving end. We're all in this together, and together sure is better than alone!! Thanks for your encouagement.
