It has been a pretty good day food wise. I've had a little more sugar than I would like to. I have had 2 regular Rootbeers and I rarely drink soda. I won't have anymore until next weekend. I've got to be careful and not let that sugar monster sneak up on me! I really have a hard time keep that in control and I can tell that it's not good for me and not just because of the weight. When I have to much I start to feel mean and out of sorts.

Had a fight with DH today. I'm not over it yet. What I'm not over if that he will say such hurtful things when he is mad. He says he doesn't mean them later, but you know I know that there is some true feelings in what he is saying. We usually get along but I think he is angry with me for getting so much out of life these days. He has said that he feels left out. I've tried to explain to him that when I'm happy with me I can be a better life partner for him, but I can see that pity party attitude he has on. Anyone else deal with these things?

I'm going to go and relax with my new Oprah mag. Have a great evening.

Oh yes, I can relate very much. My DH gets depressed - espcially in the fall and winter and he will often say things that he later apologizes for. I have learned (after 27 years of marriage) to not take it personally. It's been a hard lesson for me to learn. I used to wonder what I did wrong and end up apologizing for making him upset. Now I know it's how he's feeling and has very little to do with me.

When he gets depressed and irritable I try to get him to go out and take a walk with me - sometimes it works. In any case I no longer let his moodiness affect mine as much.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks for letting me know I wasn't alone with this. He apoligized for it last night as I knew he would. I just wish that he would think before he does that.

I guess I can't change him; I can only change me and the way that I handle it. I feel like I stood up for myself and that felt good.

Thanks again.
