2012 has begun down here. However for what feels like the first time since my surgery I am feeling down and wanting to eat the feelings away. This supposed to be my year to really live my li

fe. But I am alone and have been walking around the shopping centre and see all this food I want to eat but know will only make me ill if I do. I have not succumbed.

I will go for a run later when it cools down which will hopefully bring the happy endorphins.

Just need to express these feelings somewhere safe. My family and friends would only worry more.

Hang in there Aussiegirl! I hope your run makes you feel better! We are thinking of you!

Thanks Kimmie!

The run did help make it better, was a beautiful day in Sydney and the harbour looked amazing. I got home and had a spa and feel so much better.

The head did not win the battle today

Aussiegirl, I wish I had the words to console or help you, but unfortunately I do not. All I can say is that if anyone understands you, it is the people on this forum! Hopefully someone else will come along and be able to write something helpful. In the mean time, I'm sending you positive vibes!

Family and friends do worry, but they are also best at making us feel better. Letting them into your private world can be scary, but sometimes very liberating! good luck and happy new year!

Aussiegirl, you are obviously a very strong person. I will follow your example (ahem...walk, not run...) when the head tries to take over. You are obviously going to be a smashing success. Happy New Year!
