My son was away for the weekend so that meant it was going to be the first night alone in the house since my hubby passed away. I have dreaded this night but knew it would come at some point.
My mom was here Friday night, went to my oldest son's Saturday morning for a garage sale and then home for a nap. Saturday afternoon I went to the store to pick up a few necessities...
Friends, when I got home, took my items out of the bag and set them on the counter, I really didn't know if I should roll on the floor laughing or fall to my knees and cry...
My first night home alone and this is what I purchased for dinner!
This is pitiful, pathetic and it's no wonder I have gained SO much weight since Mark's passing...
Please laugh with me and not at me!
I'm sure I will do better next time:)

HI Cindy, we first connected through the Made to Crave Facebook party and have shared a few comments on Facebook since then. I was touched by some of the comments you made and my heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeleteI can really identify with looking to food to fill some of the gaps in life and hoping it will numb some of the pain. It works for a short while, but then is bites back and leaves me feeling worse. But with God's help, using the principles I am learning in Made to Crave, I am starting to make some changes. This has been a life-long struggle, so it's slow going sometimes, but I believe I need that time to truly change my habits. God's grace is there for us.
We are starting a new Made to Crave group here through my church in mid-April. The group will meet at my home. I sure wish you lived nearby so you could come over and join us. Do you have a support group of some kind there to help you through these next few weeks and months? I know it might be hard to go to a group, but I'd sure encourage you to reach out to others as well as the Lord. Let your friends wrap their arms around you and help you carry sorrow.
I am saying a prayer for you tonight. May God give you reminders of His love and comfort and fill those needs in your heart.
Love and prayers,
Carrie
