I need to be beat down I let stress win

I have been going through a lot since Thursday with my family.  I have just forgot about myself in the process and not been working my tool.  I have not ate alot but I have ate food that was not on my plan.  I feel about it.  I feel like I am just letting myself down and wasting my blessing.  I know it was only for a few days but how could I just let myself slip like that.  I also found out I do not dump.  Well at least I believe I do not dump.  I ate a cupcake I know I deserve to be dropped kicked in the throat. I am back to reality but feel horrible for using my family tragedy as an excuse to eat bad.  I need prayer and a beat down.  I feel like such a failure especially because I did it in secret so know one really could see me.

Hey Highly Favored,

With all that you have been through lately don't beat yourself up over a week of stress eating. You are a very strong woman and I know from keeping up with your post that you will get yourself back on track when the stress in over. Be strong and keep stay prayed up.

Hey HF...Keep your head up and pull it together... At least you recognize where you went wrong and look at it as a treat and keep it moving...Monday is a new day so let's look forward to doing better then.

Hi ,Highly Favored thought about you and your family all day. Just told the HBO about your  tribulations and just try to understand things in life.  I guess if it our to understand it will come in time.  May your grieve in your time and in by and by you will understand in thought it will be hard.

Helping my father in the last 3 months I have falling off of track and hard to get back.  Getting him well and try to keep up with myself of course we are being left out in the cold.  But I sure don't won't to be the next one in the hospital.
So do take care of your health. it's hard and trying to get back on track.

Don't beat yourself up about it.  It is what it is.  Oh and don't think you don't dump because I have been thinking the same thing too and lo and behold...Yesterday I had a craving for something sweet and said I'll have a healthy snack.  I ate apples and peanut butter and oh my lawd 20 minutes later I was on my back.  So don't kid yourself into thinking you don't dumb LOL. 

No back to the matter at hand.  I see you posted this yesterday so I'm going to assume you woke up this morning LOL.  Just look at it this way, what you did yesterday is in the past.  To day GOD woke you up to a fresh new day and an opportunity to begin again.  Don't beat yourself up about yesterday, use it as a motivator.  Start anew today. 

Good luck and Hang in there. 

HF you are human. You recognize what you did wrong and you are taking steps to correct it. Don't beat yourself up too much. Just get back on track. Everything will be ok.

Hey HF:
You don't need another beatdown, you already gave yourself one.  What you did, as well as others is a reminder just how tenuous this weight loss "business" is; this Journey IS a way of Life/Lifestyle, it is about Changing what we did in the past for a Better way NOW. I call this Lifestyle WELLNESS, My Religion because it takes daily-minute by minute PRACTICE. There will be other times of tradgedy/pain/loss, other emotional upsets AND GREAT Times, a key is to recognize what may happen and then prepare for it. I'm of the belief NOW that it is better to NOT Eat at ALL if it is  something that is not on your plan or you didn't plan for it. Most eating events and opportunities DO NOT just happen; but as Mack wrote last week, "Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail."

What happened to you is an example for ALL of us, no matter what stage we are in with this Journey; we are "Food Addicts" and all we need is the right cir****tances for us to reach for "it."  I know you are a Believer, so you know what is meant when I say, "Put on the full armor..." in this case the best defense that we have been given is Planning and Preparation. NOW, get back up because You are an inspiration to many who are watching your progress!
