Nancy’s Weight loss Journey 5 Yrs & Counting

Yesterday was pretty emotional. For the past 7 months my boyfriend has been unemployed not by choice but by circumstance. Financially it’s been hard. We’ve been struggling to make it with just my income - from paycheck to paycheck. We’ve managed well; we didn’t have money to do things we want but always made time to do things together. Recently Rodney and his mom started their own company, so that his “issue” is not longer an issue. The good news yesterday was that they have a route and their first day is today. BUT yesterday, my boyfriend went MIA on me. I didn’t hear from him all day since morning - which is unusual; and it doesn’t help that his mom kept calling me asking if I heard from him. I kept calling and texting no reply. It was a good thing I got in an hour on the elliptical in the morning because I was not in the mood to workout. I even missed my yoga class. Not only that I couldn’t take a nap so I ended up eating everything in sigght - I binged on porkrind and Doritos. Everytime I grabbed a handful of junk I was telling myself too stop but I had no willpower; the only thing I wanted to do was fill the time with something so I don’t think of the worse case senario with my honey.
We finally talked around 8pm, the urge to eat stopped and I calmed down. Trust me, I wanted to hurt him so bad for putting me through such an emotional ordeal but he’s safe and that’s all that matters.

We both had to be up at 5am, him for his first day and me for my power sculpt class. All in all it worked out well. The upside to waking up at 5 everyday is that I have 5 mornings to get in an hour or so of exercise; then I can always go back for the other fixes - the yoga or cardio, depending on my morning session. I’m so glad things are finally on the up and up for us. It’s been a long hard journey but we are finally pulling through as a couple.
