WOW!!! I didn't realize it had been over a month since I last posted. I have been a little down over the past month, it just seemed like nothing was going right and I just couldn't get myself motivated to post. Finally a couple of weeks ago, I prayed and told God that I just couldn't bear anymore and asked for some hope......having lean on His promise that he will not put more on us than we can bear, I was beginning to question. Believe it or not though, that very day Keith finally got a call after being off work for a back injury for 9 months that Toyota had a job for him and he started back on April 2nd. Also, on that very day Michael got a job and started on March 26th. So, yes I can testify that God really does not give us more than we can bear, God is good! Not only that.....that week I had also prayed for God to help me find some paint cheap because I wanted to paint my bedroom while I was on vacation last week, and never in a million years dreamed I would find it that cheap....but....I went into Sears that week and lo and behold, they had SIX gallons of paint marked down to $2.97 a gallon!!! YESSSS!!!! So, on my vacation I did get my bedroom painted and I love it! I have enough paint to paint another room in the house too....so I went from feeling very hopeless to feeling incredibly blessed in just a matter of days, thank you Jesus for showing up! Michael loves his job, and Keith started his job a couple of days ago and he LOVES it!!! What a blessing!
With all this going on I have to admit that I have struggled with emotional eating. I haven't gained any weight, in fact I have actually lost a pound and am now down 136 lbs, and have 19 to go til I reach my goal. I have really seen in the past month how the surgery did not fix my head.....I still want to eat when I am down, when I am happy, when I am sad, and pretty much just all the time....food is my comfort, my reward, and that ever so true friend that's always there for me when I just can't seem to get it together. I have discovered recently though that I seem to be having more problems with dumping syndrome. It seems that for the longest time I wasn't really bothered by it, but for some reason in the past few weeks it has started up again, and it's been pretty bad at times. HMMMM.....do you think my body is trying to tell me something??? DUH!
