Weight Watchers Week 8

I have finally figured a good system that works for me on my eating and it seems to be the way to keep my weight moving. I am going to florida for a week during the week of Thanksgiving to be with family and before I go I want to be down 25 pounds. That leaves me 28 days to get down 8.9lbs pounds. I would love to see more but if I don't then I will be happy with the 25lbs wieght loss.

Starting Weight-218.5
Current Weight- 202.4

Total weight loss- 16.1 lbs lossed
Weekly weight loss-3.1

Taking care of me

 As a woman we make a lot of sacrifices for our families and for me that is no exception.

For the last 10 years I put aside what I wanted and needed to make sure that Matt and my kids had everything they  wanted and needed and in the end that only hurt me.

As a single mom money is always tight but I plan to do one nice thing for myself regardless of the money that I will spend. It will not be big things but I know that in the end taking care of me will be better for my kids.

Thinking that when my ex has the kids for his weekend I will go and get a pedicure.

Pain!!

Divorce is such a painful event.

I know that for the past few months I have done all that I could to run from the pain that I have been feeling. However every day I wake up and the pain is there. I know that as time moves on the pain will lessen but right now it is my constant companion like the anger I carry.

I have had many people tell me that it will get better and while I believe that it will at some point, right now I am struggling with that a lot.

The girls and I are going home next month for thanksgiving and I am hoping and praying that the tiny break will allow me a chance to sit back and relax and digest this some.
