April 22, 201511 yr I'm not normally a stress eater but my mom is in ICU, recovering heart surgery. I've attempted to get in protein and fluid but just to punish myself I threw in cookies and pretzels. Steeling myself for the well deserved ass kicking...GO...
April 22, 201511 yr Popular Post Girl, if there is ever a time to stress eat, this is it. Bring some knitting, paint your nails while you wait, walk the halls. Tell her to feel better soon and give her a hug from me! A hug to you, too. That's tough.
April 22, 201511 yr Popular Post Yep, you stuffed up... ...for an hour - not forever. Your mum's recovery is more important than having a clean eating record today.
April 22, 201511 yr My best friend committed suicide on Sunday. I couldn't begin to tell you what I've eaten in the last 3 days but pretty sure it didn't involve much Protein. Tons of food being dropped off and it's all about carbs. Just try and stay hydrated and don't worry about the rest right now. Hoping your mom recovers soon....

April 22, 201511 yr Nobody can beat you up harder than you are beating yourself up. ICU is scary times. You're allowed a bit of leeway here.

April 22, 201511 yr Good grief! @@kimpossible67 and @@Kindle ... I'm so, so sorry for your losses and the stresses you're both feeling now. Please be as good to yourselves as you possibly can be. I'm thinking of you both.

You did it once, you know what you did and why and you don't plan on making a habit out of it. Everyone cracks once in a while. It's being able to admit what you did and not making delusional excuses about it that saves you from the slippery slope of "ok, it happened" from turning into "it's a habit". Hope your mom recovers quickly.
April 22, 201511 yr Sometimes you just get tired of being strong. Hugs and love from Chicago. Plan for tomorrow and have some string cheese, nuts, or Protein bars in your purse. Even a banana is better than Twinkies. You can't count on hospital cafeterias to have quality protein.
April 22, 201511 yr Popular Post Sometimes you just get tired of being strong.Exactly! Thank you everyone. It's going to be a long road of sadness, guilt and anger. a hard lesson learned about what depression can do to an otherwise generous, loving man. @@kimpossible67 Sorry to hijack the thread, but just wanted to let you know it's OK to let your guard down sometimes and don't let it bother you. MHow is your mom doing?
