Hope is all I can ask for


So…lets start off by saying that I know life is hard.  It’s hard for different people in different ways.  That being said Life is AMAZING!!! Life is what we are doing right here, right now. 
It is coming up on my year of weight the Idea Protein diet and I have lost 100lbs.  This is great!! I still would like to lose 120 more but right now I am dealing with life.  Eating for me has always been a way to push down my hurt.  Whatever that hurt is/was food would take it away.  Sure it would only take it away for a moment but that moment was bliss and let me live in my pretend world.  As of last year I stepped out of my pretend world and have been living each day as I can.  Some days I crush it.  Other days it crushes me.  The last 6 weeks I have been in a state of constant anxiety.  Sometimes I turned to food other times I was able to use food as just fuel to make it thru.  Right now I need to get back into the use food as fuel mind set as I do not know what the next six weeks will bring.  I have seen the Man that I Love (and who Loves me back) struggle to live, struggle to breath, struggle to keep his sanity and I am in awe.  His strength, his kindness, he general Nate’ness it something I strive for.  He is now breathing on his own and gaining his strength back so one day soon I hope to have him home.
Life it is AMAZING as some people do not get to hope for having their partner home, other have a partner at home and don’t appreciate them, and then others wish for a partner to be living again so they can touch them once more.  I know I am lucky as Nate breaths and as long as he does there is hope and that is all I can ask for.
