'head hunger' is hard...and today was hard

Over the past few nights its been HOT here in CT, and my husband has  been BBQ'ing- last night he made a gorgeous dinner and I have to admit I almost cried..I would have loved to shove my face with some bbq chix and all of the good stuff...and then to boot I had to clean  it all up b/c thats the deal. 

Today I found out my Grama passed last night... she was 98.5 years old! She was a gentle lovely woman, born and raised in the Bronx... one of a kind. Again,,,all I can think of was - what can I eat? ...I mean isnt that crazy?  I had a good cry- and moved on with my day. 

Later, my husband came home- and I attempted a starbucks latte- ...coffee is my passion after all...I usually drink it black but I thought that would be too harsh- sadly, it tasted like dirt in my mouth :( 

I ended up going home and taking a 3 hour nap- which I havent done since I had  babies... it was really nice and I think my head has reset from the food filmstrip playing in there...on a loop...

The ONLY saving grace is having the sleeve and not feeling that god awful gnawing feeling from your gut- there is nothing worse. My head I can handle. My stomach USED to wear the pants in this family- no more. 

I'm so sorry for your loss.  You are AWESOME for recognizing the head hunger for what it was, and not giving in to it, especially during such a difficult time. 

Sorry for your loss. Good for you being strong.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Its really challenging to stay on plan at such stressful times.  You are doing great!  Better than I would do. 

best wishes,

What a great post! You should be so proud of yourself!  You've broken the cycle of destructive eating habits- isn't it empowering to know that YOU have the control?  

Way to go!

I am so sorry for your loss. 

Food is always an easy comfort. But I am glad that you were able to stay away from it ð?'ª?
