Hi everyone, I posted here several months back when I was feeling down. You were all so wonderful to me! I have come and checked in once in a while but have not posted because I have had to take care of my mom who has lots of health problems. She is not the easiest person to get along with either which makes it worse!!!!!
I was wondering how you all cope with stress? Without turning to food? (or maybe you do turn to food and decide it's okay if it helps you deal with major stress? Not "I had a bad day stress" but really horrible "I don't know how I'm going to get through another day" stress. Don't worry, I'm not that depressed, just *****ing! )
Also I wanted to share a story, I was with a cooking group I joined (learning to cook light) and we decided to take a walk around the lake since it was so nice outside. One lady who has a limp told everyone else to go ahead and she would follow us because she is slower. She waited for everyone to go ahead until I got to her, then she stepped in front of me! It was as if she slapped me in the face. She obviously thought she could go faster than me. I admit I am fat but I am also very fit (I have run triathlons and exercise every day).
Can anyone share how you deal with this stuff? Encouragement?
