First real test since surgery....I've failed! Death of a friend

:) Thank you

Praying for comfort for you and all who loved this man. Glad to hear you are back on track. Just take it one choice at a time.

I am very sorry for your loss.  Don't stress about the overeating it is going to happen, it is your coping mechanism and could be a million times worse if you took up smoking or drinking or popping pills.  Pistachio's won't kill you and do give you something to mindlessly do as you take them out of their shell.

Personally I hate mothers day because my mothers is dead, I took my son out to dinner last night to avoid the crush of the crowds on Sunday.  I don't know why I went I barely ate, then after engaged in shopping therapy and bought myself a new color blocked dress.  My coping mechanism.   I then went and bought my boyfriend donuts because I was near the casino.  Came home and never touched them.  This morning I am sad over the whole mothers day thing and ate one of my bf's donuts.  I refuse to buy he ones I like, so basically I just broke all my eating rules by eating something bad for me and not worth it.  **** happens.

Happy Mother's Day, I hope you can enjoy your day.

Stress eating is a normal response for many of us.  Just do the best you can and know that you will be able to get back on track again.

Stop the madness. Today is a new day.

Your friend would not want you to treat yourself so badly because his death.

True!  :)  Thank you.
