I'm angry and I want to eat.
I'm mad at my roommate for eating half of the chicken I bought last night. It was supposed to last me all weekend, and he swore when he moved in that he wouldn't eat my food. Get to work and have to do my coworker's job because my boss told me to. They've been working on a project and she hasn't been able to get to this part. The last two days she didn't do much in the morning and could have done it herself. Instead, she spent all the time on facebook while I did my job *and* hers.
This all makes me want to eat. I'm having a difficult time with this right now.
I understand why you're angry.
Is there a way you can express/release some anger other than eating? 'Cause in my experience, eating might kinda stuff that anger down or dull it a little bit, but it isn't really a very good way to relieve anger. It's more a way of just stuffing it back inside.
I think posting about it here is a good start. Would talking about it more help? Going for a walk? Sometimes loud music helps me when I'm angry. Or what about exercising? Or cleaning something?

I did eat a couple of pieces of beef jerky. Better than the glorified candy protein bar.
I have therapy tonight, thank God. Thus will be discussed.
You have every right to express in an honest, calm way, exactly how these two people have affected you. Tell them how you feel, how their actions caused you extra work and what your expectations are in the future.
Standing up for yourself and giving value to your feelings can be quite liberating and can bring the anger level down that you are experiencing right now.
Or-----Exlax brownies for both of them ! LOL just kidding
excellent reply but had to tell you it did make me laugh and bring back great memories, I cannot stand BIL and neither could co workers, guess what he got once, YEP, e-lax in ice cream Sammy, I am not mean spirited but he was miserable and I was so happy:)

I would report her for using FB at work. I am SO glad it is blocked at my company-I cannot imagine how much time is wasted at any company that does not block it!
Second, you need to have a very serious chat with your roommate and if he is unable to control himself (and buy you a new chicken, STAT!) then he needs to go!
But don't punish YOURSELF for things others have done. Glad you have therapy to talk through this!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
I'm sorry you've got rude people stressing you. I am only 2 weeks out, and have had to deal with lots of stress myself, and usually turn to food, and thankful at this point for the RNY. I CANT use food, so I've turned to walking... and hopefully I can retrain my brain to do something for myself when stressed instead of turning to food and sabotoging myself.
