Getting Back Up when you have fallen

As some of you may know I have really been going through it this year, and even having a worse time this last couple of months.  I am so blessed, but I can't figure out why I am so sad.  I have gained 20 lbs since Thanksgiving. 

I really think its the stress eating or the bottle of glass per night when the job was still in limbo thinking my job would be eliminated.  But after I found out I would be safe it didn't stop.  I am cooking way too much.  Way too many homeade desserts.  I like baking and I feel better when I am in the kitchen, but this is getting to  be ridiculous. I just realized that every weekend since the first of November I have made all kinds of desserts - homeade pies, cakes, cheesecakes and candies.  I thought I would relieve myself by baking the stuff and taking it to work, but it back fired because now I got people bugging the hell out of me to make them more stuff. (My sister left two big ass bags of pecans at my house today to make pecan candy (pralines)).

The surgery fixed my stomach, but unfortunately my mind is a MESS!  How do you get back on track after falling so low.  I am typically a VERY Happy and outgoing person, but I am seriously in the dumps.  I hate feeling like this.   

Brenda I am sorry  you are feeling this way. WE have to let go and let GOD

Thank you!  I am so trying to pray through.  Its taken me a while to respond because I am  conducting training at work and could not log on today. 

Brenda sounds like you and I are in the same exact place.  I workout but I eat so badly.  I can NOT get control of my eating and it makes me so very sad and depressed.  I believe if it were not for the amount of exercise I do I would be well over 200 pounds again.

You are not alone girl,  I just don't know how to help you cause I can't figure out how to help myself.

Thank you for letting me know I am not alone.  I so appreciated this

((((((((Brenda))))))))
I feel ya sista!  Hell, I could have wrote this post tonight.  Well, all but the cooking part. :)
Hang in there sweetie, 2009 is gonna be better for us!

I will add you to my prayers as well

I fallen and I have gotten back up gain 7lbs depressed as can be and didn't gain any during the Holidays. I have lose 3 1/2 of those 7lbs. Thank God I never like to bake when I did I ate all the bake goods so I stop.  Not be for all the lbs had piled up.
It hard but get back up and tell them to bake their on goods. Even though you like to bake find something else you would rather do.  Yes my mind  is on food but I have to regroup and start all over. Reading the manual I got from the Dr's office and starting all over again.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNERY.

That is a good idea Kathleen, tomorrow is my last two finals and when I get home I am going to pull out my bypass manual and read it from end to end. 

I had that manual triple copy, one by the bed, one by the computer, and the other in the van. I got desperated I'm not falling to deep before I get back up.
