I'm so sorry you are going through this :( . Maybe for this situation it would help to see a therapist? In times of high stress you need to cut yourself a little slack. I wish i had something more to say to help you. Hang in there, this too shall pass.

Oh boy, this is hard! Life and relationship stuff is HARD. I am not smart enough to have words of wisdom, but know that we care and want all things in your life to improve. Try to stay away from the comfort of food -- the devil in disguise!

Hi Rebecca,

I'm sorry you are having a rough time of it. I can't begin to understand all that you are going through, but I certainly can understand turning to food for comfort. I know you are feeling hopeless, but you're not. You have it in yourself to do what is best for you. Don't give anyone else that power over you. YOU owe it to yourself to forget about what you did yesterday and focus on what you can do today and tomorrow. You were strong enough to post about your struggles, and I know how hard that can be. You are strong enough to put you first and do what you need to for yourself. I hope things get better for you.

Be well.

I'm sorry you are going through this!

I think I would get pissed and take it all out on the treadmill or punching bag. Take this as a lesson you are doing this for you. I'd also want to lose all my weight and be like see what you are missing out on?!!!

Don't punish yourself with food that you know only helps at that moment. Afterwards it does nothing but make you feel bad. YOU ARE WORTH a new and healthy you!

Sorry Rebecca :( Maybe instead of focusing on him focus on yourself. There's someone out there for all of us and maybe he's not the one you're meant to be with. Just think how wonderful you'll feel when you've dropped this weight. Maybe look into some counseling. I've gone myself and it's very helpful. Good luck to you and remember you're worth taking care of!

Rebecca, Please just be kind to yourself. Take your understandable anger and focus it on working for you. Don't let it break you, fight back and stay firm to your goal of losing the weight and forging a new and better life for yourself. Thinking of you, Jane

As someone once told me - the greatest revenge is doing well for yourself. No one can take that from you. I know you are mourning food now, but he will be mourning the loss of you later. You are on the right path & time heals all wounds. Rejection is God's way of saying he's got something better. May be painful now, but may also be a blessing in disguise! Take it easy, do good for yourself! Maybe you need to focus on you for once. Someone who treats you like that doesn't deserve you anyways! Know that you are a good person and good things come to good people, even if a bumpy road leads to those great things - good luck!

Hugs! I'm sorry to hear about this. When I was starting my journey last year, I found out my hubby of 16 years was cheating too. This was the 2nd time that I know about. Well that was 2 times too many, so I finally had the courage to leave. Since then, I've filed for divorce, should be final in June, I've got a new and much better man and I've lost 82 pounds so far! I'm finally caring about myself and feel so much freer. It will be rough at first but it will get better.

God Bless!

Cheating husbands really suck! Just understand, it's the flaws in their character that make them cheat, not you. It is one of the things that led me down this path. The best revenge, is to thrive and be happy. It is a great feeling when you run into the other person and you look fabulous! Don't allow someone else's bad behavior define who you are. Be strong and believe in yourself! You can find a new "friend" to comfort you. I found music. Positive songs about strong women who overcame. You can do this! Put yourself first and you can find your way. You deserve someone who values you. We all do. Hang in there. This too shall pass. Hugs to you!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
