STRESS!!! argh

Right now I feel so stressed and all I want to do is eat a horse! I haven't and won't eat, but I am finding this emotional period very hard. However some of the counseling from LL is helping, no one has died, all the problems are manageable and I have 3 gorgeous men in my life. It's hard to know what to do when you are feeling stressed and suddenly the crux you always lent on, food, is no longer there. It's an important lesson to learn though if we are to maintain. So instead of mopping I thought I'd come to MM's to get some support. Hope you are all having a successful Friday.

Just needed to vent!

better to vent on here than sitting beating yourself up with these thoughts. you are so strong, wish i had half your willpower... today has been a good day so far, fingers crossed. xx

Yes vent away, we are all here to listen and support eachother. Well done on resisting the food x

You can do it Gem!! Stay strong!!

Well done on resisting Gemma!! It also sounds like you're learning some important lessons about your relationship with food which is a good thing (even though it feels hard) as you'll be equipped with the knowledge that you can and will survive emotional ups and downs without food in the future.

Hope it passes soon though as it's hard going toughing it out. Sending you some (((((hugs))))).

Well done - its so difficult but I think it does get easier. You seem to be in the right head space to succeed. I find when this happens I distract myself completely with something else, it only seems to take a five minutes then I am away again. I can cook for twelve and feel quite detached. My only thought, it gets easier with some inexplicably difficult days thrown in for good measure. Whenever I think of giving up I say to myself, make that decision tomorrow, if it still dire you have permission to cave in. But the next day it is always better and on I go.
I hope it works for you.
