Day 8 ODAATOV:)! After being tired, a bit restless and overly obsessed about my eating yesterday as the day went on, I'm feeling well rested, calm & happy again today. I had many of the same feelings & thoughts that our FS friend, Isabel, had as I obsessed about what, how much, what not to eat. And I remembered how these trips with DH's family in the past had led to overeating & binging on sugar as other than dinners, most days it's an eat when you want thing. Some of them eat all day, some have their own eating issues, some eat mostly junk, etc. Anyway, a good nights sleep took away that anxiety as well as some prayer, breathing, etc.
SIL, DH & I worked out together this morning, we've been to the beach and I'm enjoying a delicious salad for lunch (that I actually made myself!). And before I get farther in the day, though, I'll pray for serenity. And I'll again focus on praying breathing, journaling, and expressing my way through this one day, and each one meal, moment, bite, thought & emotion. I'm so very grateful for each of amazing you, my family & IRL friends, this special time with my boys & extended family, having fun & being relaxed on vacation, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love!
