Food



  Yesterday I had the worst food day in a long time and feel really annoyed with myself and that I want to change what I eat and find more things that will make me want to go for the “bad” foods less so that I won’t have another day like yesterday.
I know I only have myself to blame for it. Does anyone else who struggles with giving into temptation feel like they are in a trance like state when they go into a shop and just go to certain parts of the store. That was what I felt like yesterday and today it annoys the hell out of me.

   All I want to do is find stuff to eat that makes me want to eat it, and feel full after it. I want to give my head a talk to and tell it that it doesn’t need what I ate yesterday to feel good, there is other options.
Like my mental health food is a constant daily battle. Some times I win the fight but mostly at the minute my head wins. I look in the mirror and see where the foods that I am eating are going on me and wish that they wouldn’t.

I have always liked food and am willing to try new things. I think I have got stuck in a rut with it and keep going back to the same things and that is my problem. Another things I have to factor is gluten free. If I’m honest I only follow it partly (drs orders) but would love to follow it more but I’m unsure on what else to try, or where to get it from.
Snacking is a guilty pleasure and it needs to be the healthy kind. Something that I won’t find guilty or have my head tell me that the wrong thing to eat after I have eaten it.

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing wit...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

Nearly three years - reflection

I’ve found my self lately thinking about what has actually happened over the last years and thinking about and saying thank you to people that have helped me. I’ve heard stories of people that loose someone close to them and the friends that go with. In some respects that is true for me but in other cases the friends that were ours mutually are now mine and the friendships I have with them have grown. ( do I think they would be that way if my husband was still alive ? Answer it would be different. But they would still be part of our lives ) Other people I have met since this new life for me started and I’m grateful for everyone of them because they probably unknowingly have helped me through the hardest years of my life so far. Some of them I’ve only spoken on line to ( you know who you are ). Other friendships have been formed in person and the communication with them has helped even on the darkest of days. Each of them unwittingly helping navigate me through this journey of grief....
