I blew it

[kimpossible67 608]

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.< /p>

Steeling myself for the well deserved ass kicking...GO...

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.

[TammyDTM 391]

No ass kicking here...

Just hugs and prayers for you...

[mrs kaje 347]

Yep, you stuffed up...

...for an hour - not forever.

Your mum's recovery is more important than having a clean eating record today.

For that kind of stress you get an out. Hope everything goes well.

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....

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

Good grief!

Please be as good to yourselves as you possibly can be.

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.

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.

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?
