Case of the Wednesdays is composed of several wonderful women on their journey of creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We invite you to follow our journeys and share your own experiences!

[The name of the group comes from the group's founder who posted a "Weight Loss Wednesday" on her own personal blog. She had such an overwhelming response from her readers, she decided to create a larger network of women on the same journey and to have posts throughout the week.]

Piper ( Week 4)





Eating Plan: none (divorce diet)



Goal: 145 lbs


Weekly Weight Loss: 4.7 lbs


Total Weight Loss: 7.4 lbs

Weekly Exercise: none





It's been a rough week....:( Part of my severe anxiety issues are due to the fact that my husband and I are getting a divorce. Not something I ever thought would happen to me. It's not some exciting juicy story either....we just simply do not get along !! It's like we woke up and realized we were married to strangers....drifting in opposite directions !! All I can say is that we do not have a emotionally healthy marriage. On Monday night a family adopted our dog. We did this knowing that we wouldn't be able to care for him properly in smaller homes and working full time. I have been crying ever since....I'm am a emotional wreck. I'm not sure if its cause I miss him or that it's the first step to what I know will be one of the hardest choices I make in my life !! I couldn't be more scared...:( But sometimes fear is good....

The weight loss I had this week is what I call the "divorce diet" ...which sounds good but is really unhealthy. I never understood how people could lose weight over emotional stressors as I tend to be a emotional eater but when it gets bad enough you don't want to eat...nothing tastes good :( I did not work out one time this week.....no excuse but that I just couldn't. My appointment with Dr. B was on tues....he has been helping me through this........not sure I could do this without his support !! Hopefully my next week will be a happier one... Although I lost weight and I should be excited...this is not the right way to do it !!

    My thoughts are with you. I know it wasnt a divorce but when I ended my 5 year relationship I had the "divorce diet" thing going on too. Then I started working out like crazy!! The workouts helped my stress and my racing mind.
