Thanks for the advice. I just can't snap out of it. I know it will pass, but I am just so blah today. I look in the morrior and see fat! I know I am extremly boney from my neck to my chest, but then I have about 10 lbs of skin hanging from my stomach. I look at my thighs and they are looking bigger (I don't know if the skin is sagging there more or what) I feel extremly unattractive like that. Which puts me into a downer. Also, sorry guys don't read this part, my chest is gross. They are like 2 tube socks filled only 1/4 with sand hanging off my chest. I can't stand to even let Brad see them. I am always hidding them. I don't know what to do. My weight isn't moving, I just read a post that a girl that is 5'8" is weighing 135 lbs, on the main message board. Why am I only at 158...well now I am at 162 cause I GAINED! I would be delighted to weight 135! Erin

Erin, I'm sorry you're having a tough time right now; some times life just keeps throwing us curve balls, even when we don't want to play anymore. Some of things that are going on are out of your control now - getting the flu, spraining your ankle, losing your cell phone. But how you react to these things is totally within your control. Take back your power, girlfriend. Don't let the bad things that happen in your life dictate how you are going to feel. Identify those triggers for emotional eating and work on replacing those automatic responses with something new and healthy. It's not going to continue to get worse forever. And it sounds like you've had your fair share for a while, so I'm betting that things will even out for you soon. Just keep your chin up in the meantime, and tell those old demons to go back from whence they came; they are not welcome here any more. {{{{{hugs}}}}}} and to you, now and for the rest of the day!!! Kellie

I am so down right now. First 2 weeks ago I get the flu. Then 1 week ago I fall and sprain my ankle. Now yesturday I lost my cell phone, it fell off my purse. I have gained 4 lbs. I am doing a lot of emotional eating which makes me feel like crap afterwards (mentally). I just want to sit here and cry. The stress is so bad that my shoulders are all tensed up! I really just want to lay in bed all day and cry. I don't know what to do. Things keep getting worse and worse! Sorry I had to vent. Erin
