Grieving

Hello, It has been a while since I have posted..and you all may not remember me...But I am asking for help..I recently lost my brother in a very tragic way..and I have found food to be my only true comfort..I tried walking and I tried musical outlets(love music), but nothing seems to help when I am up 2,3,and 4 in the morning and can't sleep!!! I feel like a True Fatty!! I have not seen the climb on the scale but I am just waiting!!!Please if there is something else that you guys can suggest..I am Open!!!!

(((((Big Hug))))) So sorry for your loss. 

Daily, 24/7, every three hours overeaters anonymous has online chatroom meetings.  There may be folks in the chatroom needing to avoid finding comfort in food at other times too.  The chatroom is always open.  The link is in my signature. 

Marema is my surgeon also.  Remember his guidance on where you eat?  How you should always be seated at the table in a pleasant and appropriate setting? 

When I struggle with night eating its usually on the sofa or in bed.   If I make myself set the table and lay out a proper meal or snack, the urge looses momentum.  I'm forced to think it through as I set up my 'feeding frenzy'.  Its a big difference from just grabbibg and snarfing down anything. 

 Thanks You are right I remember now..it has been a while since I have sat to a table I am going to start again, I will also try the link Thanks!!!

I am so sorry for your loss......((((HUG))))

It really does help to talk to someone about it all.  Just to speak it and let out whatever it is you're thinking, feeling and have to say.  So I do encourage you to seek some professional counseling if for nothing but to just scream and beat on a pillow to let go of some of heaviness I now you must be feeling.

I wish you well Vlovely!

 Funny you should say that , My doctor offered me a psychologist referral..and I refused debating that I was grieving not depressed..I had asked them for a sleeping pill to help me get some sleep at night and that was the only way they could give me a sleeping pill..So I guess I am coming around, cause now the idea don't sound so bad..Thanks!!!

Very sorry for your loss.

 Thanks Michelle..

I know I haven't been gone THAT long...but if so, congratulations to you.

I wish she were mine, but she's my niece.  I have consulted w/ a fertility doc and I'm looking into insemination.  Just gotta find a donor 1st.

I feel ya girl.  I don't know who's gonna visit me on Sundays and wash my wig when I get old, gotta get on the ball.
