So you had a bad day....

Car accident (cops came by the house because the lady said it was a hit & run when she hit us). Boyfriend's father had a heart attack. And ALL that I can think about is "Why Can't I Eat?"  I can't go get a double cheeseburger or a slice of pizza and I feel like that's the only thing that can make any of this better. I almost feel.....dare I say....depressed? Like a major piece of comfort is gone and I'm forced to be a big girl and deal with it, on a skinny girl's appetite. If ever I wished that I did not have the surgery....today would be the day.

Hang in there...this too shall pass.  Just remember you have a whole forum of support here.  I hope that your evening gets a lot better!

I am the same way when it comes to stress. How about frozen Greek yogurt? Youplet makes frozen Greek yogurts bars. The homey caramel is great and feels like you are eating desert even though you are not. I do prefer pizza or a double cheeseburger but have settled for the ice cream substitute. Stay strong. This too shall pass.

Oh no ck so sorry about all this. But girl you gotta turn that stinkin thinkin around. Thats the stuff that got us in trouble to begin with. Gotta find a new way to handle those emotions, some new coping skills. Talk to us... take a walk...a bath anything but feel sad you cant eat. Wish there was something i could do to help :(

Boy, I really like that--"stinkin thinkin".  That is truth!

Sorry to hear that girl! Hang in there - tomorrow is another day and you will be happy when you wake up and know that your overcame it.

Then any other rough time you had, you can just tell yourself that if you did it once, you can do it again!

Hang in there!

There's always going to be that one day when you're really going to miss your comfort foods. However, there's lots of ways you can deal with it! Go for a walk, go to the gym, run a bath with candles and your favorite bubbles and just chill out! If you have a dog, sit and pet him or her. Dogs are amazing friends! You can tell them all about your day and as long as you're petting them they're happy to listen! Find your favorite program or movie to watch and get your mind off the days problems. Write in a journal, how the day was, how it made you feel, and the steps you took to avoid pitfalls. (Then go back and read it in a few days and feel proud of yourself!) When all else fails and I really feel like I need to have something to make me feel better, I will make a batch of S/F Jello pudding. I know that sounds silly... but here's the part that helps... There's just enough left in the bottom of the bowl to take a spoon and be able to lick the bowl! It reminds me of good times with my grandmother and my aunts and getting to lick the frosting bowl!

Oh, and I know a lot of skinny girls that can eat wayyyyy more than I can!

Hope that helps!

Sorry you had a bad day. Just think how proud you will be later that you made it through and stayed strong:-) Find other ways to deal with stress. Some of my favorites: take a walk,read a book,watch a movie,write in my journal,do word search puzzLes or knit. I am proud of you for staying strong!
