Stressing out kind of VSG related

I realize that I am a BIG stress eater and I am doing my best to stay away from my kitchen. We just found out that my stepson (10 years old) has been admitted to a psychiatric ward. We had him for a week over Christmas and he just got home. He has Autism as well as a few other issues. (Severe anger disorder to name one) I know that he is bound to be losing it because he does NOT do well with strangers or being away from his mom. I keep telling myself and my husband that this is for the best. That the doctors will help him and he will be better in the end. My heart is just breaking for him and his mom. Even though I don't like her much, I would absolutely lose my mind if my girls had to go like that.

This is the point where I would pace the floors, hanging onto my phone, with something to snack on. Either that or I'd be outside smoking. Ughhhhh.

Please keep the little guy in your thoughts, or prayers, or whatever it is you do. Thanks everyone!

He will be in my prayers. My heart goes out to you and your family. Stay strong. Maybe walk to ease your stress.

Thank you. I'm home alone with the kiddos right now and since the sun is down, a walk is out. I'm taking the stress out on the furniture and laundry. lol Whatever works, right? I just found out a friend of mine had the same thing happen to her son, so having someone to relate to is also helping.

My prayers are with you...I know too well how hard it is to deal with stress eating but maybe if you can keep in your mind that when you lose the weight you will feel so much better and able to exercise much more easily and more often which will really help with the stress!

Remind yourself that feeling and looking better are 10 times better than that food, no matter what it is!  Hang in there and be strong and I pray the doctors will help him. Take Care,
