Some days are really hard. Sometimes I feel exhausted from fighting the cravings in my body. I've exercised at least 30 minutes every day for the last week. The exercise really does help me feel more relaxed. I am glad to stop and know that I'm doing something great for me. My sleep is returning to normal. I've slept 8-9 hours at night with no naps for the last 3 days. My system is becoming a little more normal. I'm still overeating by a little bit every day but it's not horrible. I think I'm up maybe 4 pounds but I know as soon as I start watching the sodium, sugar, and fat in my diet, it will return to normal. We're back in school tomorrow so that's a good time to start my regular healthy and calorie conscious eating.
My hubby is so depressed. He sits around on the couch acting like his best friend just died. He's eating a tremendous amount of food and his belly has already grown. He's drinking more (he was a pretty heavy drinker to beging with.) I keep telling him he should walk or go to the gym with me but he won't. I think he's only been quit about a week compared to my 2 1/2 weeks. I'm trying to support him and I'm trying to be understanding, but I'm kind of aggravated by his attitude. He's griping at everyone. I feel sorry for him and I'm trying to be understanding and let him know he's doing a good thing and he's going to start feeling better soon. I guess I should just leave him alone to fight his own demons. It's hard to deal with my own body and my own cravings while trying to support him.
