I need some positive "love" right now please from you great people.

Help!!!!!!! I'm a stress eater, and was hurt by someone a best friend of 10yrs badly...well she keeps friggin haunting me. There were 4 of us girls, and now there only 3 of us girls due to she is such a b%$#@!

I sit here and I'm crying due to her again, She is playing games with one of the other girls, my best friend to get to me. I know this sounds childish and IT IS, but if friggin hurts and I want to eat the kitchen sink now!!!!!!!!!!

It's way more complicated than this, but I can't type a book on here...I just need help so I don't ruin what goodness I have done. You all are so positive and I usually am, but this person has so much control over me cuz I let her, and she was part of me weight gain.... :( I have gained 15 lbs in the last 8 months and she is part of it. We were a "pack" and never thought she
would throw us/me away...

Not that I want this to be a therapy session, I don't, but I just want to keep feeling happy and doing good on this weight loss journey and when something like this comes up, I just eat and eat....so I'm just reaching out to you that are in the same or similar boat.

Thanks and hugs!

    I have learned over the years that I don't want to waste my time on people like that (life's too short). It was a hard lesson to learn. In fact, I'm no longer best friends with the girl that was my maid of honor 11 years ago. We're getting along now (her sister also does not talk to her). That's just one example of how hard it's been. So I feel your pain, but don't waste the effort. You're a better person and a stronger person, and you don't need that girl in your life. You'll live longer without the stress! Remember, stress makes us store fat!

    I've read three of these types of posts today. Is it the phase of the moon, or what?

    As for avoiding the snacking that goes along with emotional eating, try and find an alternative outlet. My personal favorite is a session with a punching bag.

    I understand completely. My best friend of 20 years did some really hurtful things to me also and all I did was eat to soothe the pain. I finally decided that she was not only ruining our friendship but she was also making me feel bad enough to ruin my body. So I gradually stopped answering the phone when she called and told her why eventually she was no longer going to be a part of my life. She tried her best to be the "victim" to our other mutual friends and while it hurt I knew that they knew the real truth. Give it time and eat a celery stick. As you eat it just say to yourself,,,HA, YOU have NO effect on me anymore, I am special and I do not need the DRAMA!!!!! We are here for ya girl! Stay strong :o)

    Girl you have been doing soooo good, please do not let this person have that kind of control over you. IF she is no better than that you are waaaay better off with out her!!!! Hang in there and just try to be positive about what you have accomplished and what you will accomplished. You take control of your destiny!!!!!
