The Dreaded Return

I am having some real anxieties about returning to work today. I have been dreading it and last couldn’t sleep and fretted which just made it worse. Of course I ended up with less then 5 hours sleep. Ideal. I feel wholly unprepared. I feel like what I really need is a stay at mental institution. A week before Christmas I learned my husband has been engaging in sexual activities outside of our marriage for years, a decade at least, prob our whole marriage. I am devastated and have been in survival mode. He has serious issues, sex addiction or compulsion or whatever. Where do I go from here?

I need to focus on today. Gratitude:

  1. My children
  2. I have a good job
  3. Coffee
  4. Only 2 days of work this week
  5. It’s a new year

Intentions: Be focused at work and use my time efficiently. Enjoy my children and make sure they know they are loved so much. Go to bed by 9PM.

Am I finally going to get back on track?

I am up 7 pounds and I am basically just binge eating. I keep saying I need to rein things back in, stop eating all the unhealthy stuff, exercise and I am just eating everything in sight, feeling disgusting, not wanting to work out or participate in life. Things are not so good. Short term goal: track and be healthy today through Friday.

Gratitude:

  1. Personal day yesterday enjoyed with bubba
  2. Lots of holiday festivities this past weekend
  3. Starting the work week on Tuesday
  4. Coffee, especially the holiday blends
  5. Prepped food for the work week

Intentions: Be focused at work and always move forward. Track my food!!! 😡
