My lonely nights are the worst!

Monday through Friday is usually not bad, and most Saturdays I can keep myself busy all day long.... but on Sunday afternoon, when I am stuck, trying to prepare my healthy meals for the next week, and doing laundry, and being hermit (out of necessity, or the chores wouldn't get done)... I find it SO hard to stay on track, not because I am hungry, but because I miss my husband. Deployed for a year, he has another 10 months to go. I am not one to complain, I can do all the maintenance for the "stuff" in our lives, I can deal with bills, yardwork, plumbing etc... lord knows I was doing it all before him.... but my heart is so empty without him, I just eat! I even recognize it as it is happening! I have walked the dog (multiple times), gone back to the gym and tried to stay away, but it seems like ai always find an excuse on sundays to eat sstuff that is not on my diet plan... or if it is, it is still in excess. I keep the really bad stuff out of the house, but my brother is living with me and his habits are not good.... temptations!

ok, ok.. i will stop the rant, and keep trying~

Oh.. i feel for you...and yes I know weekends are pretty much hard for me too not just sundays.. but hang in there..... maybe do an extra walk in the morning to make up for the extra eating throughout the day?

Thanks Pineapples,

Days aren't an issue.. its the evenings that do me in. i just want to cry... instead, I eat! Argh!

I know what you are going through. I went through it when my hubby went to Afghanistan... he was gone a whole 15 months. My nights were the loneliest.. but what helped me was that I was living with HIS parents and i felt akward going and scavenging thru the kitchen at 2am. When I finally got our house it was even worse. .. especially when my daughter would go with her dads on his weekend. Anyway.. what i did was just go to the gym.... that's all i did.. i'd go for hours at a time.. sometimes just sitting there on the bike forever.. or just walking on the treadmil.

Thanks Sinisme! I know I am not alone, and I don't like to complain.. it just gets to me every so often~

Good luck with your goals!
