Pookeyism 1,143 Posted March 16, 2012 My Hubby has to travel to Trinidad for awhile. His company says about a week which means at least two, and possibly three. He travels alot and this would stil be a short trip at three weeks, but I feel like I am not prepared for it. I am in a stall currently and REALLY hope to fight off the head hunger monster that creeps in every evening when I am winding down, and keep looking for a spouse that isn't around Support, suggestions and anything else you have, friends, please...I don't understand where it is coming from but this feels like it is going to be a long (yet short) trip. I would really like to counter this with positive time and activities...wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

former_vbg 198 Posted March 17, 2012 I am single and have been through the process. Honestly, I have felt fortunate in some ways to be single through the journey so that I didn't have to contend with others around me at home eating things that I shouldn't and tempting me with foods that are not good for me. Now, in your situation, it sounds like your spouse has been a good support and help you stay on track to avoid those dangerous areas. So, I'm just going to shoot from the hip here on a few things that come to mind. 1. If there are any foods that you keep in the house cuz its what the hubby eats, but you shouldn't- get them out of the house. You don't have to throw them away, just box them up and take them to a friends house until hubby gets back. 2. Call your friends and find some activities you can do that get you out of the house, and bonus if they are things that involve physical activity. Even if its going to the park, taking the dog for a walk or walking around town. Go shopping, window shopping, etc. 3. Use that time to go to the gym in the evening, even if you have to go by yourself. 4. Are there some long overdue projects around the house that you have been putting off that you can set a goal to complete while hubby is gone? This might help you refocus your thoughts from being bored at home to getting something accomplished. Those are just a few thoughts that come to mind. For me, I own a small farm with horses and such, so there is never a shortage of projects to get done. You can do this! My Hubby has to travel to Trinidad for awhile.
