A real test of WLS

A little over 6 month ago, I got back together with a boyfriend I had been with for over 16 years.  Things were going absolutely wonderful - until today.  Some really OLD baggage got brought up and, well, we are no longer together.  I gotta admit - being relatively new to WLS (almost 9 mos), I don't know what to do with myself.  Old habits want to tell me it's time to binge eat - but that's really not an option (thank God!).  So I've bee crying - a LOT.  I'm not used to crying.  It's kinda draining, actually :)  But I swear, if I could, I'd be eating myself out of house and home.  So I guess this is the real test of surgery.  How to handle an emotional crisis.

[[[[[HUGSSS]]]]]

DOing something always help me through those "tests"...even better is to get together & talk it through with a caring and compassion GF. They get it and can listen & help you feel better without indulging in too much food. It'll all be ok in the end...*BIG HUGS for the day!*

So sorry to hear things aren't going well. Just remember how far you have come in this WL journey, stay on track.  I wish I could help.  Stay strong, and I hope things start looking up. Hugs, Kelly

Oh Sweetie!!  I am sorry!  Crying is good!!  Get it out, do the greiving (that's a long time with someone).  Don't give in to food!!  Exercise more......punching bags are good.  I beleive in you and we are here for you!   ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

(((Lois))) Well, crying might be emotional draining and tiring, but I am proud of you for not turning to food. You could reasonably eat & drink and push food through but you're NOT! WTG!!! Keep your chin up - brighter days are ahead for sure!

Awww- Hugs Hun!   I hope you fee better soon- Not easy to end a relationship- I am sorry!

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you but look how far you've come!! Congrats on not turning to the old demon "comfort food"!!  Great job there!! I know when I"m upset and just want to kill something I play a game... lose myself in a book or just go beat on myself on the bowflex  :)  A few extra crunches never hurt me!! **hugs** from up north...

Hi Lois, I'm sending you warm supportive hugs and prayers  for your strength and regained happiness.  Don't cry because it's over,  smile because it happened.  All our painful experiences build our character and make us stronger. Not all your wishes came true, but never be sorry you had them! Tons of luv for you!  Hugs galore, Patti

Hugs to you -- it's hard to end a relationship.  Keep strong -- you can do it. XXOO
