A New Day Many Days Later Dec 26, 2006
Dear Good Friends
It has been many months since I have written My life just slips away with illness and business
I have been part of a coaching group for the last 6 months which has been awesome I have met the most wonderful Inspiring Ladies and our Coach Heather is truly a Godsend
We are closing up our group I hope temporarily because heather has so many prior comments We are all so proud of her
These past months I have been in my psychotherapy and my hypnotherapy and dietician and pilates and Qigong and acupuncture and chiropractor Everything helps for short periods of time But I think overall except for the stress I am dong OK
I really have had so much help and such great support But I have not written and I thing it is about time
Also I am seeing an ED therapist My anorexia was getting pretty bad and my Primary doctor wanted to put me in a residential treatment and I fought it off believing I could do it with the help I alresdy have
I have had a lot of successful times and some disasters
One of the reasdons I am writing, my dietitcan Mary has asked me to write
My husband and I just returned from a vacation in Mexico It wasa great time very stressfree , lots of beautiful weather and sandy beaches and a beautiful pool and LOTS OF FOOD Thats what she wants me to write about
Out of 8 days We had 4 dinners in regular resturants and the rest of the time 3 meals a day in one of the buffet resturants We were in an all inclusive resort All the food and alocohol
The first 3 days I went while I was eating like there was no tomorrow I get like that at buffets I hate never ending food But the food was good and there were lots of really healthy choices lots of fruits and vegies and lots of fish and seafoods I se Shrimp and there is not enough in the world for me Well I stuffed and stuffed those days but I didnt let it really mess up my head too much I was also drinking I had to try allthe great drinks Most of them were way to sweet and I only had a few sips and moved on to the next one
I do admit I had a lot of exercise I was constatly working out In bed in the morning I did a whole pilates session We walked on the beach or hours and I was tight and sucking in We spent hours in the pool and I was either swimming or doing water exercise There was no rest except for sleeeping We were always around and about Although there was lovely lounging round the pool and having a drink and reading
My husband was on best behavior He was calm and elaxed and having a good time and very attentive and loveing and caring.
It was a great trip I did go into periods of being upset about all the eating but after a while it did calm down and Iwas eating pretty normal adn like I said I did make good choices even thogh sometimes a bit exxessive and I did indulge ina little desert and it was heaven we also celebreated our anniversary there and had a delicois chocolate cake.
I was very happy with the trip
Coming home was another story My husband went into stess mode and he became insensitive and his old self really quik yelling and cursing and trying to make me miserable While I was on vacation I felt really good Hardly any pain but completely constipated Coming home allmy pain retunrd and I need ed to spend about 3 days in bed recovering. I really felt awful. The docs said it was the stress ie husband Then I was back to my schedule with all my appointment and running around I was not feeling the greatest and he was a bitch and his temper and mood were terrible
Then came the holidays Chanukah and Xmas First I received no gifts from my husband for Anniverary Chanukah or Xmas and I was very very disapointed especially the way he was treating me
Then my daughter came home Friday and we have been having a great time even though she is sick with bronchitis and he has mellowed a little and I have some pain but I am going to the bathroom
We spendt a good deal of time with friends and that wss nice Yesterday was a total relaxing day expecialy I made mydaughter nap because she was really feeling poorly
But last nigth we opend gifts and it was nice But no gift from husband Then after all was done my daughter said he agreed to give me a Coach purse which really thrilled me I love Coach and kind of collect them I have really big on bags and shoews So I was hapy that he was giving me a nice gift becaudse I had given him gifts and my daughter ess very happy with her gifts
Anyway I ahve been eating with abandon Sometimes eating a little too much and othr times a little to prepare for a feast I have eaten trifle (outstanding) apple pie, chocolate and several othr goodies and alot of champagne
I am not lettting it botther me It is the holdiays but now it is over and I will get back to normal But I figure a few days of eating and enjoying the holidays is not going to kill me
Mary I am sorry but I am going to need to really cut back a litle and really catch up on exercise Since I have been home I have not ben to the gym and now it is time to start
I am going to be starting 2007 in a healthy frame of mind and be well and take care of myself and always give thanks to God everyday and always be in an attutude of gratitude
Haopy New year to all my blogging friends and thank you all
I love you all
In Health and Happiness
Much love
