Ladies, you're all doing so well!
And finally, I am right there with you.
This will be my fourth binge-free day!
Linda, I think there is a faith group here... hang on... oh, here it is:

But even some of here pray
and at the very least, give hugs and words of encouragement.
We're glad to have you here.
I'll certainly keep you in my prayers. We all know that food/stress thing.
Why don't you choose to make some small changes? What about buying some precut veggies and dip to eat while you watch movies?
As for regrets... it's easy to look at one hand and say, "this is what I don't have". But look at the other hand and remember, "this is what I DO have".
It's easy to focus on the negative... it's a trap many of us are guilty of falling into.
People who are lonely and/or without a partner/children don't get this, but I would love to be alone. I had no idea how much until AFTER I'd married and had children. I would never leave them... I love them more than anything, but sometimes I get a lump in my throat knowing that I'm missing out on something. Being alone with myself.
Whatever choices we make in life, we're going to be missing out on something. We can't "have it all". And someone elses life always looks better than ours. But it's not necessarily so.
I think Elizabeth is right. We've only got one life... don't waste it with regrets. Make the best of the choices you have made, and be strong with those choices. You've got a lot going for you... we all do.
