You saved me today!
 

Well my day started out bad and got worse. There was a meeting at work and lots of bad news... even talks of layoffs, but we won't get into that. Then I came home and paid the bills and balanced the check book... thats always a sad time, isn't it... :( Then the worst thing... I went shopping at Kohls for clothes (depressing in itself) and I looked over at this mirror and in my head though.. yuck, look at that girls stomach, that is so gross... then I realized IT WAS ME!!! I didn't even recognize myself... Oh man did I feel bad... I came home and I really really wanted to eat because thats what I used to do to make myself feel better. But the great thing is... I realized that was the only reason I wanted to eat... so I came down here and got on and Oh I feel so much better just reading your posts! So thanks everyone! :hug:

That's what 3FC is here for. :) Good luck, Mandi! And be proud of yourself for not turning to food. You can do it!

Hey, Girl!

Mandi you have definitely taken a big step in the right direction towards conquering your battle over what most of us do - emotional eating. I'm glad 3FC was here for you. It is a great place to come to, isn't it?
