Stress

I hate stress!!! I got an email this morning that has sent me into a full blow stress attack and I am literally sitting here talking myself out of going into the kitchen and slamming some crap down my throat!!!! So far I've been able to fend the feelings off, but its only 6:55am so I have a long day ahead of me! Maybe venting it here will help, so thanks for listening.

Tracy, How's about a big hug?  {{{{{HUG}}}}} (now...step away from the crap and no one gets hurt...) Feel better, Kathy

LOL, Thank You  Kathy! You made me smile! So far things haven't been too bad~I just keep reminding myself  that I'd only be hurting me, not anyone else!

Lately, for some funny reason (funny ironic, not funny haha) in a few of the most recent stressful situations (breast cancer diagnosis and related surgeries, the great expanding boob (broken blood vessel), back disc problems, etc... LOL).. I've opted not to turn to food but actually to take control of the eating since I felt so dang out of control of everything else.  Who would have thunk that woulda happened??? Not I.  I'm not saying I don't find myself bored and grazing now and then cuz I do.  But I feel like I'm working on the other stuff and making small bits of progress. Hope your day was much better! And I love Michelle's protein shake response.  I'm a multi-shake-a-day person and know it can be a great thing to turn to. Take care, K

Just want you to know that you are not alone!   I will be praying that God gives you strength today...I know you can do it!!!   Best of luck! 

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

dont do it girl... ur better than that darn food, plus you know all those emotions will end up making you feel guilty once you have eaten all the bad things and we both know very well what will lead to.... remember, your the captain as alesia puts it. you can do this... do something else you enjoy, put in your fav cd or light your fav candle, sooth yourself in another way, ok? love and lots of hugs out to you this morn...

Thanks so much! I headed to the beach for the day so that kept me away from food and helped to clear my mind. I'm sitting down now to a nice salad that will hopefully fill me for awhile!

Hi Tracy! OMG, I had a big stressor this morning too. I'm sure you got through this event with flying colors. I'm sorry that your day had to start this way! Big hugs coming your way... Lucy

Awwww, thanks Lucy!!!! I hope things went well for you today too! Its just a heck of a way to start the day!
