A bad day---help!

I'm having an awful couple of days eating (or wanting to eat)-wise.
Yesterday I was at my dad's dog-sitting and i was so bored and sad (my mom died 3 years ago and I get sad there, especially by myself). So I wanted to eat and I struggled all day but I didn't eat too much extra (despite the fact that my dad had no less than 5 unopened bags of chips in the cabinet--my old go-to stress food.)
Today I get to work, drive here from WI. I always get bored in the car and having leftover cheesecurds and sausage bites made it difficult not to eat them all.  I just finished them off now. It wasn't a huge amount but I didn't need to eat it at this moment.
I've been tired and my body always thinks it should up my food intake when I get that tired despite years of evidence to the contrary that more food or carbs (which is really wants) isn't going to make a bit of difference.

My skills normally get me through this but this is the first time the urge to eat has been this bad since my surgery. I'm not hungry, I'm not feeling hunger. I'm just feeling crabby and tired. I've even gotten angry with 2 dear friends in the last day or so and that almost never happens.

Plus I think I'm frustrated with my weight loss because once I hit the 150s, my saggy skin got a lot worse. I happy with my loss, I'm horrified by my body under my clothes. (I'll post on that tonight.)

I'm at work the rest of the day with no time to take a walk so I can't do that. But if you can offer up any support, I'd certainly appreciate it.

(Sorry this is so rambling.)

I'm sorry you're having such a hard few days!!  I am so proud of you for not eating the chips!!  Those have been my weakness, even two months out.  I found out I can tolerate them, so I have some now and then.  Even though I am not supposed to.  Hang in there, it will get better.

You are doing awesome.. you are reigning yourself in and trying to get control before you are out of control.  That wouldn't have happened in the old days!  Be kind to yourself and allow yourself this one indescretion.. and HEY.. you chose foods that had some value in them.. that is something to be proud of!

Hang in there Anna.. I'm sorry you are having such a tough time, and that I don't have the right words. 

I'm praying for you.

Thanks for posting.  It is so essential for me to remember that the surgery is not a magical thing, but something I can use to help me lose this weight that I need to lose.  Your struggle is so familiar.  If it's there I think I have to eat it.

Congrats for asking for support and I know it will help.
