My best friend and her bf were supposed to some and see me this weekend. We had been looking forward to it for ages. I havent seen her in over 3 months and I miss having her around. Anyways.....they missed their flight, they are there and I am here and it is taking all my will power not to go out and buy the biggest bar of chocolate and pack of biscuits I can find and eat them all. I know there are much worse things that could be wrong but I was sooo looking forward to seeing her, we were both in tears on the phone when she rang to say they wouldnt be coming.

Anyways...mostly just ranting, it feels good to be able to get it out. Thanks for being around to listen.

Ugh. So frustrating. I, too, reach for food when I'm just pissed off at circumstances! I hate it when things are so close, yet so far away. Good for you for resisting temptation so far, and YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DO SO for the rest of the day!!!

I know what you mean... but if you eat the bad things you will just feel worse. So eat healthy and do whatever exercise you normally do and move on. It's hard, but maybe you guys will figure out another time she can come.

Yeah..we will figure out another weekend, we had just been looking forward to this for ages. I dont normally turn to food but I was supposed to take them for lunch when they got in so being hungrey and pissed off is not a good combination. Ive made my self some lunch (sausage and scramble egg wrap) and am feeling better now. Im gonna go meet the boy in the pub and drown my sorrows in gin and slimline tonic! Thanks for the support guys, it helps.

ahhhh... Comfort eating... I'll be honest... It's never been a major thing for me. I'm more of a "I'm bored... what's in the fridge" eater.

BUT... not that I'm not used to it! For example, right now I'm having major marriage issues and my mom is literally trying to SHOVE food in my mouth to make me "feel better." She's baked TWO pans of brownies this past week. TWO!!! I'm not the one who is eating all of them, either. my poor sister who still lives with her is trying to lose weight for her wedding next may... I don't think she's winning this battle!

It's just how some of us were raised. Just stay true and firm and realize that you'll be happier OVERALL (and maybe not today) once you lose this weight. One day of misery is not enough to delay your LIFETIME of happiness that is waiting for you.
