No question, just venting
Some of it is hormones and then there is the fact that you can no longer use food to hide behind, sort of lost a best friend. . . so hang in there, you'll get a handle on your emotions, but there is definitely ups and downs as we go through this.
Hugs and good wishes, Laureen
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Wow, I didn't know about the hormones being released...whooo!
Also echoing about not stuffing down feelings anymore.....and now here they are....still here....coming at us full blast. Makes me want to run and hide, find an escape....I know. So many things I am having to deal with now because I did not deal with them yet, I stuffed or drank 'em down.....for example....on the outside I am completely over my divorce----it was nearly four years ago, my ex is getting re-married, I like his fiancee, the kids are happy, etc.----on the inside I'm feeling a great loss....I'm heartbroken. Because I haven't dealt with it yet. I ate it or drank it away so I would not feel the pain. So now here it is, coming upon me out of the blue. The only way out is through.....I know I speak in Alanis Morrissette lyrics....lol.
We sometimes need to go somewhere all alone and just let it out...scream, cry or both.
