New Week, New Start...

Well the week-end's over, thank God! Both boys seem to be pretty healthy. What miracles we witnessed this past week with our two sons! Both were admitted to Boston's Children's Hospital ICU, only a few days post op for me, with bad case of pneumonia. My oldest was the worst. Some days/hours not not knowing if he would pull through. Then after all the prayers and hard work of the hospital, a switch was turned and he was moved to a normal floor after 5 or 6 days in ICU. Two days later we were all home. So stress management became my new goal. What could I turn to? I can't eat cookies or a cake to make me feel better.... Well I tried reading, which I despise, and I did a lot of walking around the hospital just to keep moving and help with the depression. These things did work a little. As far as the eating, well I tried a soup I never thought I would and loved it. My only problem was, we're in a hospital trying to get healthy but the food had more salt and fat amongst other crap than most fast food meals. I just don't get it. Have our taste buds become so numb that more salt is required to enjoy it? Or are the food people, doctors and medical companies all in it to keep us sick and make more money? Who knows, I'm just glad my wife makes the BEST chicken and pea soup in the world. Now I can get back to me and getting off this weight!

Nice to hear your 2 sons are getting better. I see you're from my area. What hospital did you go to? I went to the BI in Boston. They were great.

If you are near Rt 1 in Walpole, the IHOP has a great pot roast with mashed potatoes. I have had it a few times. I am over 55 so the portion is fine for me.

Good luck with the boys! and yourself. You are worth it, just remember.

Glad your children are better and glad your home and doing well. Not the best way to start your journey but a true test on coping. This is one of our biggest challanges in WL. Learning new coping behaviors is key to our success, enjoy the home made soup and good luck to you on your journey. Just remember you can do this and it is worth it, every new behavior you learn and everytime you don't turn to food for comfort is a milestone in your journey. Best of Luck!
