Feeling very down today- but didn't soothe with food!

fitmommy75

We opened up gifts this morning and my kids were passing out everything from under the tree. Everyone had gifts except me :frown: The kids of course had their Santa gifts and gifts from their grandparents. DH had a gift from me and gifts from the kids. He didn't give me anything from him or the kids. I went on to make breakfast and after he ate he went upstairs and fell back asleep. Normally I would sit and eat my way through the hurt. But instead of eating, I completed 2 Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown workouts.

Hmmm. He didn't get you anything? Not that Christmas is, or should be, about the presents... but... that seems a bit selfish of him.. But good for you for working out instead of choosing food to comfort. I have that battle when it comes to comforting myself.

I hope you have a great Christmas

edit to say: and wow 90 pounds loss! amazing achievement!

That just made me really sad! I know its not all about gifts but I feel as if it makes you at least feel that you were thought about. Sorry that happened to you. I still think we are all kids at heart. Congrats on your weight lose, that is amazing. Shop for your self tomorrow!!

I buy myself presents! Been doing that for 12 years now. I am single, that might make a difference, but I don't see why it should. I did get a lovely gift from my 16 year old. She is a beautiful artist. But I got perfume and hair stuff and some makeup and toiletries, gorgeous necklace, etc. No one else is going to give me gifts, so why not treat myself to presents? I would recommend next year to give yourself lots of nice little gifts that you want. You are worth it!

Ok, tomorrow is a good day to go shopping, get out there and get yourself something cute!

Or go wild on Amazon today.

You are learning to take care of yourself by eating healthy and losing the weight and exercising (good for you, I plan on doing a little today, see if the plan takes fruition). Why not be kind to yourself in other ways too?

You working on your own health is the best gift to give yourself and your family. Good for you for working through the hurt!

Hubby and I decided to forego exchanging Christmas gifts with eachother this year. We did however, do stockings. My hubby really doesn't like shopping so I offered to take care of my own stocking as well as his. This is the first time we didn't exchange presents. For years I have been buying my own gifts. It's a win-win because I always get what I want AND he doesn't have to stress out. I just hand him the gift, he wraps it and puts it under the tree! I like doing this for him.


I'm sorry to hear you are hurting today. Not a fun way to spend Christmas. I like someone's suggestion of going on Amazon and doing a little shopping for yourself. I will send you a {{{hug}}}and a friend request:)

Well, that just sucks. Not even a thanks for breakfast before he went back to bed?

Still, you proved yourself to be a stronger woman today by not eating though the hurt. Good Job on that front.

So, take some money outta his wallet and go get yourself something.

I'm sorry to hear that. Not very considerate of him but that's not for me to go into... I'm so proud that you didn't soothe with food because I would have after I assaulted him with every pillow in the house.
