Today was one of the best and the worst days ever ! Well firstly had a lovely weekend with my parents and family at the beach ( this has been my week off my diet due to holidays) ..... to come home to my house with my ex in ( we have to live together as cannot afford to sell) with his new girlfriend ... and her child ... now normally I would have gone off the scale with him and her before eating masses of junk food and crying etc ( btw me and my ex lost a baby 5 months ago... leading to us breaking up) but nope I walked upstairs got my computer and went back out and taught some kids for a hour math - got home then shouted but i dont wanna eat anything- i think i did well!

    Good for you! It's hard for me to not eat when I'm emotional/upset so I definitely know how proud you should feel of yourself! Just use that anger of that situation in your workouts to burn more calories and get out your frustration!

    I have a "live in" situation... after 10 yrs of marriage I cant just throw it away but I care enough to stay and get along as roommates.
    Thou you are stronger than me b/c I could not even think of what I would do if he was to have another woman and child in my home

    Awesome for not eating

    Well done on overcoming so much and I'm sorry for your loss! I can't imagine what your whole situation is like. Hopefully, you can swap your ex for a paying lodger until you can both sell the house. Keep up the great work and good luck :o)
