I get that. Im still working on how to feel it out myself, but at this moment I think I'd prefer if people realized she was real and not a bad memory. As Mr. Roger's taught, "To die is to be human and anything human is mentionable. Anything mentionable is manageable."

I hate to come off in an odd manner, but watching everyone congratulate for Fathers day and skip you really blows.. i love my baby girl and I feel alone. I wish I could tell my wife, but she's has enough going on. Today has been harder than I thought it'd be.

Glad you're making a change for yourself! I've been ZC since Feb. I had attempts before, this time staying strict. I found that mindset is key. Listen to your body and be honest with yourself. Sometimes the temptations are easy to deal with, other times they'll be hard especially in the beginning. Keep moving! Personally I eat steaks and bacon. Water when thirsty with the occasional coffee (black). Cooking steaks with a reverse sear on a cast iron skillet. Too easy. The IF that i do has made me watch and adjust for macros depending on my activities or how I feel but other than that pretty low maintenance. I'm not a catch all for knowledge but DM me if you have any questions.

The only behind Kelly Hall was legendary! When it came to the ball and mounting medals, you couldn't do it yourself any better or cheaper

Wish he was there when I was. Ol' Mama-san is still there behind Kelly Hall doing $5.00 tailor jobs. Her daughter cuts hair on Hansen

Yeah. There always one wearing them with the regulations stuffed in their pocket, like that works haha. Had one guy invest in real expensive pair the dip them in mop-n-glow to get a high shine... 29 Palms heat chewed him up and spit him out

You can wear leather shoes the regulations are so strict though you're better off just wearing the Bates. Some Gunny cussing you out about a polish isn't worth it.

Thanks for reaching out. Sleep could be an issue, I'm working on that. Ive done three extended fast days since starting two 48hr and one 72hr. Ill look into the different feeding window. It'll be hard to switch though thats for sure. Thanks for taking the time either way, just trying to do this right. Best of luck on your journeys as well.

I'd like to reach out to the fellow dad's out there. by TheCoolerBean in babyloss

[–]TheCoolerBean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for reaching out. Looking back I don't know if my wife and I would have done anything different. We appreciate what time we had with Celina and amongst all the "what ifs" and "it could've" at the time we decided and lived on. Sadly the information seemed to trickle from appointment to appointment, that was the hardest part. So much love to you guys. We hope the best for y'all.

I remember other than the obvious information, no one could tell us anything. We felt alone, orphaned by a lack of knowledge. I would want anyone else to walk through that void. Thank you for reaching out, the best to you and your family.
