Need Hugs

hrv · September 17, 2005

I have had a really lousy few months, lost job-got new job with huge cut in pay that I don't like, family stuff etc......... I went ahead and got another fill on Thursday because I haven't lost any weight in weeks and I gotta tell ya'll I am in serious food mourning.

I am sad, depressed and I want nothing more than some fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, mac & cheese.....need I go on.

Wow what an eye opener at how much I used food as comfort and now my band won't let me. Good or Bad... having a hard time telling the difference.:think

Good Heather, good. It doesn't FEEL good right now--but it WILL. I promise, it will. With or without food you have to find some things in your life to feel good about. It's a full moon tonight--should be pretty. Go out and enjoy the moon. (TRY not to think of it as cheese--or a big vanilla cookie!)

The ironic thing is... you now HAVE to feel all those feelings and deal with those emotions where in the past they just would have been buried under all the food. Take it as a blessing as painful as it may seem now. My prayers are with you.

As always, I can only echo the wonderful advice already given to you. Yeah, it can be really sucky when you realize you have to actually start dealing with emotions instead of stuffing them...

So sorry to hear about your work woes.. Those can really add stress that you probably don't need...

(((((Hugs)))))

Thank you for the quick responses.. There is just nothing like hearing the truth from other people who are going through the same thing.

Love and Thanks

Oh Heather <<<<<<HUGGGGGGGG>>>>>>>>>>

I'm sorry you are going through the ringer right now but we have all been there. But with the help of some wonderful friends and God we get through it. Today you have a choice to be up or down. You can control you and no one else. (I have learned that one even with my 13 year old)

Choose to smile today because you are wonderful, inside and out.

You are blessed in so many ways (count some of them, let me know if you can't think of any)

Hey Heather everyone here at LBT and God loves you!!! Put your head up, shoulders back, smile, grab a bottle of Water and be a blessing with everyone you come in contact with. Be POSITIVE!!
