Stress Eating

Is what I am about to do. I could fight the urge if it were just me, but this is my hubby's stress. Our most beloved dog, Sampson, got out of yard today while we were out and we haven't been able to find him. We have looked and looked along with our neighbors, and my son and many others we passed along the way. No luck. A few people had seen him...but we just always seemed to catch up with them too late. My husband also has pneumonia...so he doesn't need to be out looking for the dog...but this dog is so special to my husband. It is really hard to explain, especially if you are not a dog lover...but I will try to explain. My husband found Sampson at a shelter and he had been badly abused. My hubby was at a really vulnerable place in his life and the two creatures sort of bonded. They spent the next year helping each other to heal over the pain and hurt they had experienced before they met. I think without Sampson, Mike would have never been ready to have a wife and a family and I know that our family is very incomplete right now and we are just praying and praying that he finds his way home.

The doorbell just rang and it is the pizza delivery person...like I said...this is mainly my husbands stress...but I am guilty of giving in to the gooey nastiness.

Sampson come home...we love you and need you.

<3 Me

Hi Rebekah! I'm a friend of Kimber's.

I hope you got back on your program today after the pizza last night!

I hope Samson comes home soon!

I've been reading your blog and want to congratulate you on all the hard work you've done and the results you are seeing. About 7lbs in less than 2 weeks! Way to go!

I also have a battle with weight and I want to strongly encourage you to only weigh once/week in the morning. It's tempting to hop on every day or even every other day but it really deflates us. Once/week will give you a better picture of what's happening! (which for you is great things!!)

Keep up the good work!
