feeling my feelings, not medicating myself with food

man here I go again, I am so hungry no not hungry, so angry I could eat everything in the house. I DID JUST GO TO THE GYM AND PLAN ON GOING BACK TONIGHT but what I want to do is eat.

I really am an emotional eater, more than I thought. Doing good but could easily sway. I have a few friends who let me down. My good friends husband died and the other friends dont seem one bit interested. We all use to work together and we get together every month or two. They dont have time for funeral home or funeral. Oh My, I am livid.

who needs friends like this, I am sure now they would treat me the same. I will not be so available anymore or may just end it. But trying not to let this pull me down and EAT.

    You have very high standards, but the only one you can hold to those standards is yourself. You don't control them.

    Don't hurt your progress because your friends are insensitive. If otherwise they are enjoyable company, you don't have to do anything drastic like ending the friendship because of this.

    Going to the gym sounds like a really good plan! :flowerforyou:

    P.S. Sorry about your loss.

    one friend did call and is going with me. have not heard from the other one. One had all kinds of excuses like she had to work, , she doesnt like to go to funerals like who does? and the one that really takes the cake SHE HAS NOTHING TO WEAR.

    PLEASE DONT LET ME EAT, BOY AM I ANGRY.

    thank you for your reply. I did not eat my feelings, I faced them hooray.

    It was painful. I realize I have a distant friend (the one who does not want to go to the other friends husbands funeral) and I have my good intimate friends. Cant change it. Cant make the distant friend close. But I don't have to jump and be available for this distant friend either, it is her choice to be distant. She has been that way about other stuff but I was in denial.

    When you go thru stuff you realize who your friends are, painful but good and now I can put my energies into my REAL FRIENDS. No Need to OverEat.. Thanks for letting me vent.
