I am in Deep Mourning!!!

It has finally come to me after all of the wonderful responses I received from my last post. I am in deep mourning. I have loss my best friend. FOOD. It never dawned on me before that I abused food the way I did. I never realized how much I depended on food until now. I find that as soon as I am stressed good or bad I am ready to reach for something to shove in my mouth. So I had to find something else. It is still hard no matter how much I try and divert my attention to something else,but at least it is a start. I bought the Gazelle Elite by Tony Little and now when I am stressed good or bad I HOP on Tony and ride into the sunset. I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your kind words and heartfelt emails. I know this is just the begining for me and that things will get better. I am slowly but surely learning the meaning "Patience is a Virtue". Adrienne

Hi Adrienne- I am glad that you discovered one reason for the depression. Here's a thought too.... Whenever you feel like you are coming apart--try singin your favorite songs. I sing in our worship band at my church, and I know that whenever I get down or anxious or negative, all I have to do is start singing, and my heart and mind are instantly freed--- Of course I am singing church songs, but I believe that singing itself would do the trick too-- Good luck and God Bless you--you WILL get past this time.
