    You are a strong confident woman who deserves the best, that includes good health and a nice place to live - You can do this!
    I understand getting discouraged but giving up on ourselves is actually punishing ourselves and when we really take the time to think about it, why would we punish ourselves?

    Wishing you all the best.

    GOD WILL PROVIDE
    :huh: as far as I'm aware deities do not usually provide housing...


    OP - Please make sure you get support from your family and friends. It is not weak to ask for help. Good luck.

    The bigger issue is... if you're going to feel guilty and ashamed and angry at yourself or damage your self-esteem (which we all invariably do) if you start eating like crap as the first response to crisis, is THAT going to make it easier for you to solve your crisis... or is it just going to be another thing you have to deal with?

    Come here. Use the support. Talk to people. Vent. And then call on your family and friends to help you with the practical side of getting through your situation. And whichever way you go... make it a conscious choice and don't feel guilty about it. We're thinking of you :flowerforyou:

    I love this! Yes, just contact whomever and whatever resources (church, family, friends, anything you can think of) you can to help you. If you need to add some of us as friends, ask us in messages for help in getting through your crisis and hopefully you can pay it forward to those you choose when they go though something in their life. I know I went through an extremely difficult situation this week and asked for support amongst my MFP friends and felt SO much better through their messages, posts and follow-ups. I stayed on my diet, although I didn't exercise for a few days. And I gained deeper friendships with all these people, which meant the world to me.

    Blowing your diet because you feel bad will only lead to feelings of guilt and feeling worse. IMHO, when times are tough, the best thing you can do is control what you have control over and not let a bad situation permeate other areas of your life.

    Great advice !!!!

    And eating a lot of the wrong stuff will make you feel better how? Push the food away and pull your resources toward you. Contact everyone you know and ask them to help you find a new place to live. Now you think of some more good ways to keep going. You're worth it!

    This.

    Wow...after the first, although well-meaning, yet useless reply, I didn't think I would get much advice or motivation here...but I sure did. I appreciate all the advice! I have no friends or family to speak of to turn to for help. Someone mentioned how much exercise I'll get by packing & moving furniture and that is true, lol. Also eating badly now won't make me feel any better or make my situation any easier--as many of you had said. Thank you all. Wish me luck. :/

    I'm sorry. Landlords stink! If you do gorge just do it for 1 or 2 days.... Moving is stressful but maybe you'll find a better place.
