That "Empty" Feeling (must read repost from another site)


18 years ago 0 2631 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Thank you for the post Golferman and thank you for the bump Cuddles. Having gone past 100 days, I still struggle with that empty feeling at the end of the day. Initially, I "filled" that emptiness by eating and eating but as my weight increased, I had to cut back on the food. So here I sit, with that "empty" feeling again and, thanks to this post, I believe that I may be ready to accept it.

Great bump Cuddles! I'm still in my canoe. Life really does change. The emptyness vanishes as we move forward. What a great journey this is. It just keeps progressing more and more every day.
