Sorry to hear. My advice, stick to the raw veggies and pay attention to portion size. You are in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but, think of those better clothes and how great you've been doing, and stick to GOOD CHOICE foods, ok?! Things WILL get better!

Believe me, I understand stress eating. You can do this though. If you give in and eat, it will not make your circumstances change and you will only feel more depressed. Take a walk, get some exercise and you will start to feel better. I was told at my support group that we are to make a list of 100 things we would like to do once we've lost weight. Do that...and cross things off as you reach all of those little milestones. When you're feeling down, bring it out and remember what you're working for and how far you've come. I have faith in you...and I'm praying for you.

Hello Sft.

You know that holding out is not the way...you gotta be prepared!!

Drink a very large bottle of water down and eat a fiber one bar BEFORE you arrive at the hall.

It will be so easy to say no to the wrong foods then...cause you are gonna be sooo full.

Then first thing have another huge glass of water once you arrive and head directly for the salad.

Make yourself a HUGE salad and follow it up with another beverage.

Finally, scope out the desserts and find someone to share it with.

Think about that dessert and how amazing it is gonna taste.

You CAN do this...but if you are gonna win the body you want...GO PREPARED!

Two yrs ago my FIL was diagnosed with cancer and during that time I ate ate ate...he passed away and the weeks leading up to it and a few after, I ATE to cope. I gained 20 lbs very very quickly. I hope that you can use what you've learned here to cope better than what I did. (((HUGS)))

Girl! I will put you in my thoughts!!! Drink tons of water, and maybe run by the store and grab some to go snack packs for your busy few weeks!

A friend got me in the habit to pick up during busy times to go packs in:

tuna and crackers (warning!!! only use 1/2 the mayo cause it is not the healthiest mayo!)
apples
sweet peas
celery
carrots
bottled water
pop some popcorn (Act II 94% fat free)

You can do this girlie!!! Keep your chin up!!! :flowerforyou:

Awwww honey, I am so sorry things aren't going well. But you will get through it and being healthy will make the healing process go by better. Not to mention, will bring a little light into all of the darkness. Don't compound the bad feelings by blowing your healthy new lifestyle. We're here for you. And I will keep you in my prayers...:flowerforyou:
