Hey everyone. Sorry I've been gone for the past few months- my husband was in a pretty serious car accident and I've really been focused on helping him heal and manage his injuries.
I wanted to check in because I really need some support and motivation. I haven't been to the gym, and the past two months have been spent with lots of take out and Netflix, since that's about all he has been able to do (he had injuries to his spine and neck). In addition, regardless of how irrational it sounds, I've also been a little afraid to go back to the gym, since that's where I was when his accident happened. I'm upset with myself and the 5 pounds I've gained. One of the girls at work said she'd love to start going to the gym with me, if we are ever off at the same time, but I really need a huge kick in the ass to go again. I keep telling myself I will as soon as he is back at work, but then I look at the calendar and get depressed because that's still another two weeks. I've tried to start eating better again the past few days, went grocery shopping and bought lots of diet lean cusine stuff I can just heat up and not feel bad about. I know I can do this because I keep having fleeting thoughts and urges to take the diet pills I have or to use the laxatives as quick relief, even though I know that doesn't affect my weight overall.
If anyone could offer some words of encouragement or just a friendly hello, that'd be great.
Again, I'm sorry I haven't been around, life just got in thew way.
