toughest workout today ever . i dont even know how i got to the end of it. it physically was just as tough as it has been. But yesterday afternoon a wonderful man the only father i ever knew in this life died the whole workout this morning i went through waves of tears threatening to flood me at eveturn . i manage to get through it ..just and promptly burst into tears once i finished. ..talk about potential emotional eating epic.. What is really surprised me was the fact that even though the capacity to emotion eat is huge ..In my head i keep hearing a little voice saying "you have worked so hard don't give up" and Kevin would not have wanted me to give up either . i recently sent him video footage of me training for roller derby and he was so proud of me .. i have to hang on to that with all my might. So this is for you today Kevin ...I am NOT GIVING UP

    Aboele79, I am so sorry for your loss. Dealing with all the emotions that come with grief can be challenging at times. Take it one day at a time. You can get through this with out emotional eating.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief affects each of us differently. It does come in waves. When our emotions are high we want to comfort ourselves. Sometimes we do it with food. At least I do. It's great you were able to get through your workout. Remember, Kevin is still rooting for you & so am I.
    Keep up the positive attitude.
