Testing the waters

How many times have you had something upseting happen and turned to food for comfort? Yesterday was a day for testing the water.  I had one of my best friend my little teacup poodle leave me yesterday.  Codie was just like another one of my kids.  He was only 4lbs so he went everywhere with me.  When I was sick he snuggeled with me, when I was sad or upset he was there. Accepted me for me.  I can't explain it because Codie was one of 6 dogs that I own but he was just my baby.  But to make it worse I was the one that ran him over with the car.  I thought I would die, and of course my first instinct was chocolate but I did very well.  My hubby says I was probably just to upset to eat, but that would honestly be the first, I have always been able to eat...  Today is a better day, I did find myself picking when I left the house today and Codie wasn't with me but after I realized what i was doing I stopped  tina

Oh, Tina! I am so sorry to hear about your pup!  I know how you feel, to lose a pet is the worst!  Just like one of your own kids. You will get through this, too! Keep strong! 

Tina, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, it was not your fault, accidents do happen!!  I know how difficult it is to lose a pet, they are part of the family.  But you did awesome not turning to the enemy(food)

Oh Tina, I am so sad for your loss. I have a chihuahua and a jack russell and they are my furry babies. This is definately an emotional time for you and it would be easy to turn to food for comfort. Don't do it. Your health is so important. It appears you are aware of the picking. Keep that awareness. You will get thru this. Just take one day at a time. You will heal and you can do it without turning to food. You were right to come here for support.

I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work.

Hi Tina,     I'm so sorry for your loss.  This is definitely the kind of stress that will put you to the test.  I'm happy to hear that you are stronger than the stressor.   Good memories are much better than any chocolate bar!  Keep the faith! Blessings, Yvonne

Tina, I am so sorry to hear of the accident. That has always been one of my fears with one of my dogs. there is little I can say except that I will pray for you, it must be so hard. Please keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doing. Pam
