Lowest weight in nearly 4 years

The scales this morning said 242 - the lowest weight I’ve been since just after my daughter was born 4 years ago.  I got down to 226 then, but 40 pounds very quickly when I got depressed over things I couldn’t control.  After having my son, I got down to 242 and then gained 31 pounds over the same issues.  Think I’d learn.  Actually, I think I have learned a few things.  Of course, the reason for my depression at those times won’t happen again because I’m so done having kids.

I got completely terrified today.  We took the kids to the children’s museum and all of a sudden my husband goes, “I’ve got to go!” and heads toward the rest rooms.  I look around and can’t find my son!  I look every where and still don’t see him so I go as security if they’ve seen him.  Nothing.  They start looking for him as well.  As it turns out, that was the reason my husband left so abruptly - he’d seem Wils take off.  Considering my husband has been sick with an intestinal bug, I didn’t know that wasn’t why he’d left!  I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared in my life.  But I survived and didn’t assage my stress with a candy bar from Jungle Jim’s.

Have a great weekend and GO RED SOX!

    Congrats on your success as far as weight loss. That’s cool about your husband’s job. I work in Avionics field for the U.S. Air Force (I am active duty) so I work on fighter planes. So it’s kind of sort of related and I always like talking with people on similar fields. Hope you keep having success! It hasn’t always been easy but since I’ve joined this site I’ve lost 15 pounds.
