I'm finally back (to work) and more myself. My cramping and whatnot pretty much subsided over the weekend. I'm still sorting out a bunch of emotional baggage and am getting my life back in order.
when I mentioned about my weight loss on the other post it wasn't so much that I was ready to jump back into it right then, it was more I felt my life in limbo and that was very scary. I started my weightloss journey in Mar. 2004 and had pretty much been on that track (even with a few derails) since. When I got pregnant it took me a bit to get used to trying to be more on the healthy and not so much on the losing weight side. When I miscarried that focus in my life went away as well. So I felt lost. I've since done a whole lot of re-evaluating my life and know that for the most part I want to lose weight right now and work in healthier habits. I'm going back to what has worked for me in the past while searching out new ideas. I still plan on doing at least one body-for-life challenge but that will wait until we can afford a gym membership.
So for the most part I have picked up the pieces of my life and have prioritized which ones need to go where and am getting them put back together.
Thank you all again for your support, kind words, prayers and thoughts. It means so much to me.
Oh wow Dawnyal, I had no idea you had a miscarriage....I am so sorry to hear that. I have had a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, so I know your loss. Do you have other children? Unfortunately I was unable to get pregnant again, and at 40, I'm not sure I want to now!!
Anyway, just wanted to offer my support. Be gentle with yourself for awhile, and allow yourself to grieve.
I just got back from vacation over the weekend and haven't been on much, but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I know this must be a confusing time for you, what with constantly adjusting your expectations, but I did want you to know that we're here for you anytime.
Dawnyl-- I just saw this. I am so so sorry. I hope that you and your family are doing well. Please know that I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. I know it's hard to understand right now, but I believe that everything happens for a reason. Please take care of yourself.
Please remember you always have support here, whenever you decide to get back in the swing of things. That's a personal decision, totally up to you. As a support group, we support that!
Thank you all so much.
