thanks

Thank you all for the great responses to the "I'm slipping" post I wrote last night.  The problem is, I feel as though the stress in my life is pushing me towards a depression.  I don't always feel like eating, but then there are the times, like last night, when that's all I want to do.  I did eat my feelings before my surgery and I CAN"T physically eat them away and it is completely more mentally exhausting than I EVER anticipated.  Yeah, I snack on pb and crackers, but I feel like eating an entire pizza, to, for a minute anyway, "feel" better.  I KNOW that doesn't work.  So counseling........yeah,  we'll see.  There aren't exactly a barrel full of fantastic counselors up here.  Maybe I'll contact my church....Anyway I appreciated your responses and hope everyone has a good night.  My h (notice no d) and I are going Bangor for the weekend, maybe that will lift our spirits.

Keela, this like this are best handled one day at a time.  a weekend away for you and "H" sounds wonderful. and talking to someone at church is perfect.  Life is so hard sometimes, just deal wtih one problem at a time.  Its not the end of the world if your under stress and forget and eat crackers, your right, its a better choice then a whole pizza.  hang in there have fun in Bangor.  OH< and so you know, my DH is just "H" today too....  he has sat here for 3 days, and hasn't said a word.  I can't handle his moodyness, and depression over his surgery, he is whinning all the time. OMG... when will he go back to work... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Must be that "time of the month" for the "h" type people!  Mine is pretty much in the dog house right now!  I agree with Cheryl though...one day at a time and some time away might do some good!  Emotional eating and stress eating are really hard!  Like everyone said last night, they fix our bellies, but not our brains!  Sometimes I wi**** was the other way around!  Hope you have some luck finding someone to speak to...someone from church might be a good start.  I wish you all the best!  One day at a time!  (I'm telling myself as well as telling you this!!)
Hugs!
