Week 87 12/23/2008
Standing Strong
My mom is healing nicely and so is the rest of the family. Her health scare really impacted all of us. So much so, that we all stopped what we were doing in our daily lives to spend more time together in Arizona. It’s been nice to take long hikes with Tom and my brother Patrick and to just spend time together, to slow down.
Not too long ago, a stressful situation like this one would have been a red flag for me — a time to stuff my feelings with food. But I’ve remained aware of my triggers and I’m very conscious of my thoughts. Tom has been a great support — he’s also in maintenance — and we remind each other to move more, to walk, to hike. I also have my consultant, Kathy, who always seems to say the right thing at the right time.
So all in all, this trip…despite the stress…has been good. My mom is healthy, my family is united and I am still 40 pounds* lighter.
