OT-VENT!!!!UGHHHH!!

Hi all- Sorry- I just need to vent-- I have been having such a awful week at work. The work just keeps piling up, my new Team Leader (boss' boss) is Ms. Micromanager and creates meetings to waste our time. I keep wanting a chocolate bar, or something! I haven't felt the need to go for food for solace in a while, and I know I am doing it-- I am eating (healthy stuff) when I am not hungry just because I am agravated. Thanks for letting me vent. andre

Hello Andrea, I have been very stressed with my classes and am angry with myself for not being able to eat. I keep going to the fridge looking for food..AKA my former friend...LOL..I cried for 2 hours last night. I feel like nobody listens to me. My son is being very uncooperative. I called my mom to talk to her and she was already asleep...nobody wanted to hear me. I think I need to be put on Zoloft for while. It helped me when my grandma died. I missed almost 2 months of work, and didn't talk to hardly anyone but only when necessary. I just don't like the idea of a controlled substance controlling me. Thanks for letting me vent too.. Mandie

Andrea I am sorry you are having such aggrevation, who needs this OY VAY . Old habits are hard to break but at least you are aware. When I crave sweets usually when Aunt Flo is coming I eat a protein bar. They taste like candy bars to me. I even have tired a sugar free ice cream pop. I will even make myself a proteiun shake with sugar free syrup and lots of ice. I wil drink extra water. Take a walk. Anything not to give in. Not sure what works but willing to try anything. I have been having lots of family issues lately. Thank god I am taking Zoflot. I have been taking it since my mother passed away 2 years ago. It helps with menopause I think. THere are days I think I need some zanex too. I think if I get knocked on my butt I will be too tired to be hungry. I know I am a bit Hang in there sweety you have done such an awesome job and you can do it, hugs Pam

Andrea, my hubby has a micromanager boss and I'm telling you, he is going insane!! They are moving offices this week, and he didn't get home until 11 o'clock last night, and he'll be late again tonight. We were supposed to go to Disneyland at the end of this month, and now he said his boss is hemming and hawing about him taking time off. Yet when HE wants to, he goes. I swear my DH is going to have a heart attack or something if he doesn't get some relief. So, I know kind of how you're feeling and I really sympathize. Would a hug help? Well here is one anyway. ((((((((Andrea))))))) Michele

Thanks everyone! Just nice to know that you guys are out there and you care. I needed the hug. It's so frustrating because although I am not sabotaging myself yet, I know the habits are there. It need to break the habit. Tell your husband I can totally relate--- I feel guilty leaving at 8pm!!! Thanks again, you guys are the best.

I say tell the manager that are causing STRESS.. The micro manager may be getting it from above. Sometimes they need to know. I am in management. A manager loves to hear what people think... Sorry all- I am drinking tea for stress instead of eating and quick walk ...

Thanks for the advice Pattiann, and for the good suggestions. How is your leg doing, by the way.
