Pam

Thanks Nic!  hasd domewhone as someting in conficeene, but right nw I don't.  Thanks again!

Pam

Pam I am sorry. but at least be proud that you realize you do not find comfort in foods like you used to. That is a huge accomplishment.

I still find complete happiness when I eat certain foods and wish I didn't.  (which explains making my BF go get those damn chili cheese tots last  night!)

You know you don't enjoy those things. Sometimes we slip because of old habits but don't feel bad. You realized it instantly. And yes...........I do believe a good cry does wonders! It cleanses you!!!

It better clean me out - Ive got litle wiggle room

I will be poting my menu - andsicking with ti. tohelp me ac****ble.  I will also stya close toall fries inis or similar situatons

Thanks nic!

Thanks so much guys - it's good to know all my "family" is here when needed.

And yes - I feel wiped out - but that also happens after I cry, let alone the dumping...but I do feel a bit de-stressed at this point...which is a good thing.

Off to pa!

Pam

Stress stinks, doesn't it, Pam???  I'm soooooooo sorry.  But this is a lesson learned as we all will have many lessons to learn as we continue in this journey.  Remember a few weeks ago I was all stressed out about Garry and whatever else I was going through and ate a whole bag of microwave popcorn???  It did taste good, but my problems were still there and it didn't make me feel any better.  Actually, it made me feel worse because I realized that I could eat the whole bag without stopping and that freaked me out!!!  So we all learn, as you will.  You will be fine.  Try to take a step back and take lots of deep breaths.  When you're feeling vulnerable reach for something good for you or even something sweet but sugar free.  I know, easier said than done, but you can try it.  It's better than going for a twix bar!!!

Take care.  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Pam - you can do it....just a few more days left :)
And you are right, a good cry is definitely underrated...sometimes it is the best medicine.
Now you are ready for your new adventure to begin. 

Sweetie - sorry to hear that you had sunce a rough morning. *hugs* from a far now - but soon to be close! This is a terribly stressful time and unfortunately it is going to get worse over the next few days before it gets better - saturday afternoon you will be in the new place unpacking your things and life will begin to get back to normal.

Twix are evil! And dumping is worse.

So glad that you turned to us though.

Keep strong! We are here if you need us!

They way I have been feeling all day - you are gona wonder how good "being close" to me - is you may have  distraugh person calling you more often!  LOL  At least I'm back to joking at this point

The food demons are really killing me today - but it stopped with the twix.  On the way home from pa (the place looks great, by the way) I really really REALLY wanted to stop at mickey Ds or Wendys (and not for  grilled chicken salad I might add) but hubby just gave me that look.  The look that said "I will get you whatever you want - but is that what you want"  I just sighed and said "no;...it will make me sick..make me more depressed I ate it..and I have an egg and a lf tortilla I will make a wrap out of.  The "warped" part of all this - is I just finished the wrap - and THAT tasted good  That would've been out of the question a year ago.

Thanks!

LOL well remember that goes both ways - next time I f up and eat the splenda blend I'll have someone to whine to also!

But on the bright side of all that - I am also here if you are feeling the need for that twix  - make the call first and I'll remind you how terrible it will make you feel!

I am sure that it is all the stress that is associated with well everything moving, leaving one job, starting another, being further from your family, hubby etc.

I have to say I have driven through wendy's for that burger - and I can tolerate them OK. But it is a rarity.

I hope today is a better day!
