Feeling miserable....

Sorry to keep posting so much tonight. I am miserable. I weighed in and the scale said 159. That's 14 pounds gained in 2 months. I know it's all my fault. I have been indulging in just about anything I want. Tons of McDonald's french fries. I know better. I have been eating for comfort and because I'm depressed. I have to get back on board though. I can't keep on this road, or I'll end up having done all this form nothing. Maggie was happy with her thin mommy. I don't want to disappoint her. I have to do better.

Linda you have had a hard couple months. (( HUGS )) for you.

Linda, It is understandable that you are struggling with food.  You have been and are going thru alot.  I know you can do this... You need to reach down deep and find the strength to pull thru this!  You are an incredibly strong woman and I admire you very much!  You really need to find a new way of coping with the depression and stress.  Try to find something new that you can do to take the focus off the food and the depression.  Maybe you can find a new hobby to try or to get involved with.  Something to keep your hands busy and your heart at ease.... maybe crafts of some sort... needlepoint or crocheting, sewing, or even puzzle books.  I know you are dealing with so much.  Sometimes putting yourself in a position to learn something new, it takes you out of the routine and consumes some of the time that you are finding most depressed and stressed.  I started crocheting when I lost my job.  I found a pattern online that was simple so that I could make stocking caps to take to the cancer treatment center here.  They give the hats to patients who are losing their hair.  It is a very rewarding hobby and its so fun to see the different colors and caps that I can make.  See what you can find to do something new or different.

Dont ever think we are tired of your posting here.  We are here for you any time and you can always lean on us!

YOU CAN DO THIS AND YOU WILL DO THIS!

Im praying for ya!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Don't ever be sorry for posting sweetie.  That's what we're here for - to support each other.

You've had a rough couple of months.  Now that warm weather is here, maybe take walks instead of junk food? 

Good for you for catching this at 14 pounds rather than 40!

Are you attending any bereavement support groups?  That may help keep you from using food as a comfort too. 

Hugs honey.

Linda honey dont ever be sorry for posting thats we are here for each other.
You have been through so much and i personally dont think i could be as strong as you are.
I agree with Tracy make a craft of some kind and donate it in Maggies name.
Maggie was happy with her mommy she loved you no matter what you weigh or how you look.
Even though you are going thru a hard time you see that your eating habits arent good and thats something you can change.
I know hospitals have bereavement meetings have you been to one of those?
You probaley need to share with someone who is going thru what you are.
How is Mikey doing?
If i can ever be of help to you please let me know and stay strong sweetie.
Lots of love and many huggs

A french fry honey won't ease the pain..Time and lots of hugs and love will.. instead of that french fry go get a drink of water.. and write in your journal.. Maggie isnt far away she would want you to take care of yourself and he daddy and brother.

I know it is easy to give words... I haven't felt your pain. But I am sending you hugs and prayers. Take care of yourself.

Linda Kay

I am sorry that you are having these struggles, hugss to you.
