Emotional Eating

I am a victim of my own failure to find a positive outlet for my emotions. I sent my 19 year old son off for 2 years this morning. I am feeling a huge hole inside that is screaming to be filled with all things fried or swimming in sauce. Somehow I have to not let this derail the small success I have had over the last 2 weeks. Any suggestions for fighting that empty hole???

    Today will be hard and probably so will the rest of the week...maybe even month.

    BUT... you will probably feel even worse if you don't pay attention to yourself and watch your eating and quit exercising. Let your eating and exercise be the one thing that you DO feel good about! ((HUG))

    Wise words, Dana! Lori, she is correct...eating and exercise are in your power to feel good about! You can do it!

    Well as the others have shared, you MUST keep up the exercise and healthy eating for yourself because YOU ARE WORTH it! But you also need to be a good role model for your son during these 2 years on how to handle yourself during situations of change that can be stressful. You want him to be proud of you!

    I'm sorry to hear about your son leaving. That's so hard. The best thing you can do is take care of yourself while he's gone and be more healthy when he comes back home to you.

    And if you need something "swimming in sauce," go ahead and indulge. But, only in moderation!

    ((hugs))
