Stress eating - Need some positive vibes

Hey family!  I'm needing some positive vibes tonight.  Just had a serious chat with Jeff and some things have come up that will likely effect us financially in a negative way and we won't know the full impact until we can talk to his school hopefully next week.  We've also got some relationship stuff to work on with this and I'm in serious stress mode.

I warmed up a couple of cheddar brats because I "need" to eat.  Ate a few bites and luckily my stomach disagreed with the choice so I tossed them out.  I'm going to go to bed so I'm not tempted to eat around my stress, but it's not going to go away over night so I'm going to have to be extra vigilant about not feeding my stress with food.

I'd appreciate some prayers for me and us as we work through this.

Thanks!

Debbi

Look here Miss-started wheelchair bound and recently completed a 5k....
I KNOW you can do anything you put your mind to.  I've seen it.  And certainly you can work through whatever issues arise and will be triumphant over them....WITHOUT STRESS EATING.  You can do ANYTHING.  You do not need the food for reassurance.  You have a MIRROR for that.  Go look into it and see how far you've come and KNOW that you are amazing and CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!

Love you!

You are an amazing woman, Debbi!  Sorry you are going through a rough time.

I second what Kris said...plus you can text me anytime if you need to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar.

Debbie,, I am positive that you have come too damm far to give up now.. You will get thru this just like you have all the other bumps in the road... If we didn't have these bumps we wouldn't realize how smooth the road is when they are not there.. Keep your chin up and remember how far you have come.. Stay busy.. idle time is not a good thing for a wls patient...

Debbi......I will be praying really hard that the financial problems will not be as bad as you think that they will be.    When you get the urge to stress eat....get out of the house and go for a walk.    That way when you get back food will be the least thing on your mind.   I will keep you and Jeff in my thoughts and prayers.   Hey....it will all be OK....I just know it.

Ditto the others Debbi.  It can be tough, most of us go through it at sometime.  Hang in there and know we are here for you. 

Prayers going up for both of you.

Hugs,

Debbi,

I'm so sorry your going thru this right now. First of all your a woman of faith. I'm sure you have already been in prayer about your situation. As you know I've had a few "challenges" this year and do the stress eating. I've decided I just can't keep certain stuff in the house like chips, crackers et****il things calm down your just going to have to keep healthy things you can grab when you want to munch. Lean on your friends during this time and this too shall pass. Your such an amazing woman, and you can't not imagine how your spirit has helped not only myself but many others. Now it is time for you to lean on us for strength.

Your loved!

Debbi...sorry things aren't going well right now.  I hope they get better for you soon.  Hang in there girl.  I've been there and done that...it's crappy when life gets hard!  Try to walk or take a nap or watch a movie you love or grab fruit or something when you are stressed.  Prayers for you and Jeff.
