...so I worked about 12 hours today, went to school for 2 hours, spoke with my husband and daughter while on my way home and everything was fine. Less than 10 minutes later when I walked in the door it was WW3. My daughter is 18 and she and her father had a battle involving a cell phone (I still don't have a clear picture of what happened), which ended with my daughter leaving and going to my son's for the night and my husband going to bed pissed off. So, I immediately went to the kitchen to find something to eat. I made a bowl of ice cream, covered in chocolate chips and whipped topping, thought about it for a minute, dumped the whole thing down the drain and sat down to type. It is virtually impossible to eat ice cream with both hands on the keyboard. So, thank you for being here everybody. You just saved me a ton of calories and hours of guilt!

    Just hang in there. Drink some water or exercise if you can. Tomorrow will be better.

    Good for you!

    Trust me. Food is not worth it. It IS our friend but isn't there to "comfort" us and you just took one more step into getting away from that.

    Life does get hectic and tough. Just don't let it derail all your hard work. You would only feel worse in the end.

    Take care!! :flowerforyou:

    It's great that you turned to here instead of the ice cream!
    I hope tomorrow things get sorted out and the day is better for you.

    I know it doesn't help but I've been there and it does get better.

    Remember the fight will be over tomorrow. Every 18 yr old girl grows up and gets over herself, every husband feels better after a good night of pouting. But can you name me one woman who feels truly better after drowning her stress in garbage food?

    I am so impressed and amazed that you threw the ice cream down the sink.. You may have turned to us for help,but really, you've helped US by showing us how to be strong.

    And I would like to be one of the many to say "Thank You"
