Death in the family = junk food

SDkitty

As an emotional eater, the death of my Grandma yesterday is really messing with my appetite. I can't tell if I'm starving or if I'm just upset. I've eaten 4 rice cakes in the last hour :grumble:

At least I get to work out my emotions on the pavement after work...

How have you guys dealt with loss when you're trying to keep the calories down?

Run. Nothing is better to clear your mind. Endorphins are an amazing thing and will definitely elevate your mood.

I am sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one never gets easier, you just get stronger.

I run, it helps me think clearly. I am sorry for the passing of your grandma.

4 rice cakes in the past hour?

They're like 20 calories each . . .

Is that supposed to be your idea of a binge or something?

LMAO! I wish my binges looked like that.

Well no, rice cakes are not a binge, that is just all I have at my desk. I was just asking how people dealt with the urge to emotionally pig out, you don't need to be so rude.

Wish I knew the answer. My dad died a year ago this coming Saturday. To make matters worse his birthday was last week and fathers day is the week after he died. I struggle with figuring out a way to deal with it without eating and drinking.

Today I went to a wake. She passed away leaving young children behind. It was sudden. I've hardly eaten anything all day and I've just had no appetite. Now Im finally able to relax and unwind and still not much of an appetite. It's hard but I have to eat something. Trying to make wis echoices and not go straight for the junk, I bought Froyo tonight and its in the freezer. I might just make a salad because its easy.
