Have ya been experiencing feelings since you dont medicate yourself with food. I am sure it is a good thing but painful. It seems I am more emotional now, had to confront my hubby talking disrespectful to me and also had to confront a co-worker who was hateful and complaining all the time. I guess what I am saying it was easier to eat than deal! BUT I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR MYSELF AND THAT IS A BIG BUT.

    Great job! Better to go for a walk to burn off steam than to drown those emotions in a cookie. YOU ARE WORTH IT! When you respect yourself others will too.

    THAT IS WHAT I DID, WENT TO THE GYM AND WALKED THE TRACK! BETTER THAN EATING.

    Any time you remove a crutch you are bound to tumble. I have been there on other paths in my life but hose feelings are real and you need to experience them in order to break through. It is tough! Keep coming here and getting support as well as in real life.

    All the best!

    Iam new too. Trying not to eat in the evenings when I am home and most stressed. The gym is just two miles away but I feel guilty just getting up and going there. I am proud of you for not medicating with food it is soooo easy to do.
