Right ho, things have been very difficult recently. My wife got depression and we came very close to splitting up a few times as her behaviour became erratic and abusive. I went through all sorts of things before I finally realised that she had depression. It was triggered by all the stress of my Dad and Sister leaving and what it did to me. All appears on the mend now with some counselling and lots of tears and effort.
Things on the weight front did go a bit haywire as I was drinking as a coping mechanism. I also had to give up my sports (squash and rugby) as I needed to care for the house and chores on my own. Needless to say that tack a holiday on (part of the healing process!) I have gained 8lb and my 32” jeans have got a bit tight.
Rather than buy some bigger ones I today visited lighterlife and for the sum of £132 I procured 56 packs. I have decided to have 2 for breakfast and a bar for lunch and to try and up the exercise a bit. I should slim down for Christmas at which point I will be enjoying myself again. I already have 5 various office dinners on including 3 days in Dublin for a “management meeting”.
14s 4lb, watch this space!
Couple of other bits to note: Family Christmas at ours, 16 to feed including sister back from USA. May get back in contact with my Dad next summer but far too early at this point considering that I nearly lost my marriage.
