It is a day like this one that really make me appreciate my tool

First, I am pmsing. I woke up this morning and I can't move my arm. Must have slept on my shoulder weird, or my painting the ceiling in my office caught up with me. I didn't lose an ounce this week. My hernia repair that I had with my surgery is giving me issues. It has to heal from the inside out and last night I was poking at something with a q-tip in there and I now have a string of what looks like umbilical cord hanging out. Now, I get to drive 2 hrs to see my surgeon tomorrow. I usually am in and out in less than 5 minutes when I am there....so not worth the time and gas money...sigh.

Typically, in times like these I would give up and eat everything in my sight. Now, I can't. I ate some soybeans today and they feel a bit stuck. I can barely ge****er in without getting that pressure under my chest. So, even though I am having a crappy day, I can't make it worse by feeding my face. For that I am thankful. I am also thankful for a place to be able to vent when I can't shove my frustration away with food.

Thanks OH!

Sorry to hear that you are having a crappy day, BUT, glad to hear that you are recognizing your behavior and working it out here instead!

Here's to hoping it gets better!

Awwww hunni, I'm so sorry you're having a rough day. Hopefully Dr. Rumsey can help with the hernia issue. You know we are here when you need to vent. Hugs & love.

I'm so sorry sweetie, how scary!!!  I hope it isn't something hard to fix! 
What time is your appointment? Maybe we can do coffee depending on what time it is.
Glad you are keeping it in control, but hope you get the soybeans unstuck soon!!!  We are here for you sweetie!!! Hang in there!!!  bigg huggs, Becky

Hi Kim, bless your heart.  I love the saying that everyone has on here...they operated on our stomachs, not on our brains...lol  It defintelyi takes some rewiring of our heads to not automatically turn to food.  Good luck with seeing the surgeon, make the most of your trip down here and go to SeaWorld or something!  LOL  xo  Kim

Hi Kim,

We're always here to listen.  Good luck at the doctors.

Hugs,

Kim I am hoping that whatever is going on with you the doctor can repair today!! And YAY on you....isn't the tool the best..ok most of the time when things do not get stuck either! Get well soon!  

 Thanks for all your replies. I went to San Diego yesterday and Dr. Rumsey just cut off "a piece of skin that wanted to come out" from my belly button. All is fine. Well, with the exception of this big gaping hole I will still have to pack for months to come. sigh.  I am just thankful that it doesn't hurt. It is just annoying. I had to cancel two summer vacations because they involved being submersed in water. 

Again, during times like these, I would have given into the stress and eaten and then felt a whole lot worse. I hope this doesn't happen every month at this time. Thanks for being there for me with such kind words and support!
