Getting Along Better

Well, I am here and surviving. I have really gone through a lot of changing of attitude in the past couple of weeks. I am glad that I had the surgery, yet I am frustrated that I am a baby when it comes to food. I can't tolerate certain foods and it is like I am an infant learning how to eat again. I am grateful, because I was not a healthy eater. (Hence, the weight gain) I was in denial about it all. I have lost 25 pounds and I am feeling so much better. I think that eating right makes all the difference in the world. I am getting used to eating little amounts. I knew that was going to be my biggest hurdle.
It is early April and it is snowing outside. I am so sick of winter and snow in the worst way. I want to get out and walk and get some yard work done. I want to get on with my life. The kids are doing great. They are nearing the end of school and are in the last term. This is the time when they get spring fever, if it ever gets here.
It has been a major adjustment not working a job. I did not realize how into my job I was. It took over my life. I am so grateful for the change and the opportunity to be with my children and to take care of them. They are my job. I love them so much. I love my husband, he is so good to me. We will get through this major crunch. It is just learning to live on less, that is the key.
