back and need support

Hey December crew. I'm back from vaca - I'm sure many of you read on the main board that I came back to a mess compliments of my husband. Well, to top it off I have been eating so badly as a result of all of this stress. I the last 1 1/2 weeks I have probably eaten about 6 cans of fiery hot pringles and oodles of jelly belly beans. It's the first time I've failed in my eating and I've done a great job of personal destruction. I have lost 3 pounds in the last 1 1/2 weeks - I don't know how except maybe all of the walking at Disney, or maybe all the refereeing between the girls. I'm really having a hard time and could use some support. I missed you all. Hugs, Candy

Hi Candy; Well I hope the vacation did you good and as far as support I am here for you. That said I want you to stop and take 3 long slow breaths come on now 1----2----3. Ok let's look at this minor situation as a little glitch in your computer. It was just that a moment that a little craziness was going on and now it is over and it is time to get back to basics. Put away the snacks and get back to what you already know works. You have not done any damage as you still managed weigh loss while all of this was going on so get out the old water bottle and the protien and your vitamins and lets get to the track or gym and get back on track. You have been successful so far and I know you are not going to fail now. If there is anyway I can help feel free to ask. At this point you are a big loser BUT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD THING. I am very proud of your accomplishments and I know you are. You are a winner and not a quitter. You will succeed!!! Your Loser Friend; Jim

Jim, Thanks so much for your kind words. You brought me to tears. After what my husband is putting me through right now - they were really needed. Thanks for always being such a great supportive friend to us all. I know this ugly divorce will be difficult, but in the end such a relief. Thank you for your big heart - I'm sure your wife cherishes it everyday. Of course now I'm having a hard time eating anything after getting that nice gift this morning. Today I've had 32 oz of water and a power crunch bar. I better try to get something down. Hugs, Candy

Donna hugging you close Your not alone when it comes to over indulging when times get tough. I went through my moments of over eating but I managed to get back on track and you'll do the same thing. I sat at 211 pounds for like two, maybe three weeks and BOOM!! I dropped down to 205 pounds. Don't beat yourself up. Hugs Donna

Thanks Donna, Your doing great! Thanks for the hugs! It's nice to know none of us are alone in this journey! Hugs, Candy
