My daughter graduated

My daughter graduared Saturday and I find myself stuck between sadness that she is an "adult" now and happiness because she is off too college.  I also find myself sneaking junk food again, just like before my surgery.  I wonder if the two are connecting.  My thinking is a resounding yes!  Has anyone else gone through this?  Am posting pictues of her graduation and prom on my profile.  Missi

She will be fine, I know I am now an "empty nester" myself and although it is different it is part of the process.  You need to find another hobby, or perhaps a new pet to help fill the void. Just be careful, each time one of my kids moved out I got a new dog...  now I have a whole house full of pets!

Good luck, and try to put the junk food away.

Wtg    on your  daughters graduation.

I  do not sneak  junk food.  I have learned that if i want it then   I  need to plan it in my  day.

I just   eat it responsibly.   There is no arguing with yourself you will not win  so just plan for it.

I too am losing real slow and know not it really comes down to exercise.

I LOVE EXERCISE.

take care

Patty

I know how u feel happy and sad all at the same time.. she will be fine we all make choice and go with it right or wrong.. just like u say sneaking food.. dont sneak food like patty says plan for it.. if i want chips or something i know i shouldnt i have little or plan for it..i dont feel guilty at all.. you will be ok..and so will your daughter..we all have to grow up sometime some soon then others

Have a great day

Have fun, enjoy the summer with her. Although now is hard, September will be harder if she's going away to college. I sat in DD bedroom and cried my eyes out the 1st evening she was gone to college.

Patty's right- plan for your snacks, make good choices, take a walk, do SOMETHING rather than eat.. Eating never solved anything.  (remind me of this the next time I'm upset, OK?)

I posted a minute ago and it didn't show up.........hope I'm doing double here!
Anyways..........
Congrats to your daughter!    

It's tough with all the changes in our lives but I agree with the others!  Find something else to distract yourself........You've come too far and done too well to slip back into old habits!  You can do it!!!!!!!
