the desire to be comforted

November has been very hard for me so far. My father is gravely ill in the hospital and I have not been dealing with it very well. My father has always been the most important man in my life. I have a fiancé but I think my dad is more important then him for the time being. My father and I are very close now. I was not always daddies little girl but for the past six years, him and I have develop such a close relationship. I think that is why I am taking it so hard. I have not been taking care of myself this month. I have not been going to the gym and I find myself slowly turning to food to comfort me in these hard times. I have not gained any weight THANK GOD, but I have not lost any too. I am trying to remind myself of why I got the band done and I don’t want to revert back to my old habit but for now the desire to be comforted seems to outweigh my desire to lose weight. However today my father was a little better and I just pray every night he recovers as soon as possible because the holidays would not be the same without him.

(Hugs) for you and a prayer for your dad. Come here for comfort anytime. Just remember to take time to take care of yourself, you need to so you can be strong right now. Hang in there!

Having a loved one in danger, whether its health or otherwise can be emotionally exhausting. My prayers are with you. Working out releases endorphins and can give you some valuable you time. With that being said, I do not always follow my own advice and I understand the pressure you are feeling. Please don't give up on yourself.

I coempletely understand how oyu feel n i hope that ur dad feel better really soon. I know it is hard to concentrate on ur self in a time like this but try alittle at least to be atleast eating the right foods. good luck honey i wish u the best

thank you all
