Shame

:( Welp.... it was my first faulter of the weight loss bandwagon since getting my surgery 6 weeks ago.... I struggle with Mother's Day since I lost my child 16 years ago, and so it is always hard for me and extremely emotional. I ate sweets, bread, and too much, which I am physically suffering from. I am so upset and disappointed in myself, but then the "brain" part says it is my emotional eating creeping up on me and it is such a hard "program" to beat. I am back on the band wagon ASAP.... but I am fearful of this emotional eating creeping up again in the future....

Sorry to hear about your loss.

About eating wrong, it's over with, tomorrow start again. If you are having problems with emotional eating call your doctor and or dietitian. They know how to handle this better than anyone.

I am about eights weeks out of surgery, and I have not had the loss of a child to contend with but still I have not been perfect on this weight loss journey. The band will work if we want it too, and it is much easier to get back on track. Don't be too hard on yourself, we can change some things but not others, it was a hard day for you and that will never go away.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Having two children of my own I can only imagine the emotional pain that would come with that. I'd give yourself a stay on yesterday, it would have been hard. You can get right back on track today and that's the good thing about how this works. That's what I had to tell myself because my son decided to take me to Ihop for Mothers Day plus to have one last oorah before I get banded. I did not really want to do it but I did not want to hurt his feelings either, so I did. It was good but I hated myself at the same time. I've just decided all I can do is start over today. Good luck and God bless

Thanks ladies! I am doing exactly that.... I weighed myself so that I had an honest answer on what I gained, and now I am on to start the day in the right mood and mindset. I am picking up my new bike that my parents bought me for mother's day tomorrow which will help me tremendously. I appreciate the support from this blog, and to know that I am not the only one that struggles with "bad days".

Hi - I have a lot of problems with emotional eating. How can my dr. or dietician help? I just thought they would get mad at me.

Honesty about your less than perfect eating day and the emotions that brought them on is all good things. You are recognizing the behavior and that keeps us accountable. Shame should no longer be part of the emotion. Noone will be mad at you.....you are doing a good job of that all by yourself. Forgive yourself......feel what you are feeling and tomorrow is another day. xoxox.
