since I started last sept. I haven't eaten over my feelings. I didn't use food for comfort when the 3 rd day my son was arrested for 4th DUI, When my beloved pet when thru 2 different big health scares, when my husband told me they thought he might have colon cancer and it took 2 months over the holidays to find out he's Ok . The whole time I didn't eat even though he swore me to secrecy from everyone- esp our kids. And tonight I didn't eat when my daughter screamed at me for 2 hrs on what a bad job I did as a Mom raising her and how I didn't love her , only her 3 siblings.( BTW they think I was a great Mom. Thank God for tapping to keep it together on most of this.
If I can not eat overall this- Dare I say I'm feeling really confident right now ? Though I sure could use a hug right now.

Sending you that hug virtually.

Great job getting the emotional eating under control. There are few challenges diet wise as hard as not using food as a crutch.

Emotional eating is an unconscious pitfall of mine. I don't even realize I am doing it until long after the damage is done. You have been through a lot and it takes a lot to keep with it through the tough times. Good for you!!
