Crying Jags

Options
I’ve never had this happen before when losing weight, but this time around, I can't stop crying spontaneously throughout the day. When I go a few days or more without losing, I stop crying. I’ve joked that my weight was holding in emotions and when it goes away, those emotions get released. This new problem is frustrating! UGH!

Anyone else experience this and if so any advise?

    Ive done the same and here's what I think: food is/was a coping mechanism for me. Never really realized it until I started cutting back. When the food was gone there was no way for my brain to deal with whatever thoughts or stress so I started crying. Its interesting to note that the last couple weeks ive been stress eating due to work and there have been no tears.

    Edited to say I don't know how to make it stop w/o food yet. Short of removing our tear ducts we may just have to deal with it for a while.
