cheater comfort foods - it is definately the wrong thing to do~

I have not been on the site for over a year.  The year after I had my surgery, My mother became ill and eventually died.  This was my first experience with cheater eating. No my husband has stage 4 colon cancer and is under inhome hospice care.  So I was stressed, trying to take care of my husband, and working 12 hr night shifts.  I retired early on January 31, 2012 which took off some of the stress but I still kept eating comfort foods.  At the end of April we moved from our RV to a house with my son and his family..  I don't have to start at square one, but I have put on 45 pounds of the 85 I lost.  I have lost 15 pounds since moving in with our son.

 The bottom line is don't do it and keep connected.

 

 

Sometimes life just forces us to deal with it first! You've had a busy stressful time. Glad you are getting back on track and we're always here for ya!

I can understand what you are going through. My husband went through colon cancer before I was banded. It was a very stressful time.I am proud to say he is now a five year cancer free survior, but it has been a long road back.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Check in for a little down time and support when you can. Hugs!!

I stress eat. I have had a devistating day and went out and bought 4 containers of ice cream today. Will it help my situation? No. But somemtimes that is just how  I cope. I've gotten better about it than I was.............but we all fall back on previous eating patterns at times. I will say this...............what helps me the most is not bringing in unhealthy foods in the house (most of the time), and trying to always have a lot of healthy snacks around.

Sorry about your husband. Sending prayers!

So sorry to see what you are dealing with. Know I am praying for you. If you'd need, send me a PM and I will send you my contact numbers. This way, the next time you want to reach for food - call me (by the way that goes for anyone).
