I seriously understand where you are coming from. My mom has been the hospital 5 times since November, three times in rehab. She lung cancer, recurring breast cancer and dementia. She is home alone and not a mement of the day I am not worried about her. It is the absolute worst stress I've ever been through!Originally Posted by Sansfilter
You are all so helpful. I just need to get this out to people who will understand. I'm having a rough couple of days with my mom in the hospital. I am responsible for making medical decisions when she can't, and she can't right now. I really, really wanted to pick up fast food for comfort and because I'm just spent. I didn't. I went home and made pork loin, couscous and corn for the man, and cauliflower for me. But - I just ate a snack off-plan. I don't feel better. In fact, my tummy is full. Despite that, my brain keeps saying, "go get more". I am going to bed soon, which will turn off that emotional eating voice. I wish I would have done it earlier. I'm in P3 and so close to maintenance. This moment has reminded me of just how important this group is for support. I know I could do better. I also know I could have done worse. It's my goal to be conscious but kind to myself during this time. Thank you all for your honesty. It makes a difference.
Hang in there! If you need to vent PM me. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Stay strong.
