Frustration is setting in
Frustration is setting in. I have so many things weighing down on me. I am worried about not working and the extra stress going to my husband in regards to supporting this large family. I am trying to cut corners everywhere I can, but somethings cannot be trimmed down. Now there is the onslaught of school starting and all the supplies they will need in the next few weeks. I feel like crying. In addition to this my life was taken over this week by school registration and I have missed out on the gym everyday. I feel like a big fat failure. My weight hasn't moved in two months up and down. Nothing significant. But ultimately it shows a gain of 4 pounds since my last weigh with the doctor. I will be visiting for one year checkup in a few weeks. I wanted to be down to onderland. next to starving what should I do. I added the exercise hoping to kick my metabolism up and I feel so stalled. I think the worse is not losing but the fear of gaining. It all starts with a few pounds. I am starting to feel nutty. I try and discuss this with my family and they understand but not the real emotional side of all of this. My daughters has been a a dessert each week for the summer. Of course not gbs friendly and I can tolerate sugar. Damn, I am mad about that. I almost wish I could throw it up. Now sugar is a fiend which we already knew. But there is this Monkey that keeps saying yummy. I guess the brightside is I don't eat candy. And I am trying to stay on good food intake. I also have noticed that I am eating trail mix with nuts and raisins. I pick out the MM's but this is now a habit. While it seems healthy it is probably not so great considering the fat intake. Finding a job is depressing. I have been looking everyday since June and nothing is being posted as a teaching position for elementary regular education. Damn, I spent al this money on educating myself and now there is no job available. I only pray that subbing will come in to help in the relief of finances. A long term contracted job is what I need. Time is running out on my preliminary license and I need to finish BTSA for clearing. Damn, damn, damn! What will I do if I can't find a job contract me in this market. I would hope that the state will extend the preliminary license, but you never know. I guess worse case scenario is I go back to school for special education. But this also means I will have to take student teaching again for 8 weeks and more money on the school loans. Is this a trial? something has to give soon. God hasn't put me here to fail, I have worked to hard and my fmaily is needing me to succeed in order to provdie for them. They have sacrificed so much so I could achieve the teaching goals and master's degree. Many family trips postponed, and activities not done because of me wanting to do this. Now I am done and I cna't make up for the things they missed out on. My daughter seems to understand but my 12 year old is having a hard time with not being able to go and do. Something as simple as a pair of shoes or a new backpack with school supplies. I am angry at all of this, my brain says to eat. I feel lonely in this chaos, and I can't explain it any other way.
