RANT, NEED TO VENT... GRR....

have you tried a kick boxing class or something? Instead of turning to food, go take it out on the gym?

I am so terribly sorry to hear all of that, and I thought I had a lot going on. Phew! When you want to eat, workout.... No, that might be too much. How about when you want to eat, just laugh. Out loud. It's contagious and healthy. It might lead to crying, but better than just eating for the heck of it, right???

I sincerely hope there is some bright light shed in your day today. :flowerforyou:

RANT! In the last week this is what has been going on.
A 17yr old that we knew died in a motorcycle accident.
A friends mom wants me to network to help her son get a kidney or he will die.
I'm going with my friend with stage 4 cancer to hear her fate on Monday, today she goes to the hemotogist.
Yesterday my mother in law was at ER with chest pains.
My friend is moving back from Texas to Indy and her family ran out of gas and money.
My aunt yesterday has congestive heart failure and only 15% of of her heart is working.
Our dog is dying of cancer and isnt doing good...
No I'm not making this all up, wish I was.
Oh best part how I find out about my aunt is on friggin facebook from another aunt. Could my mom or sister call and tell me? Hell no.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know God only gives you what you can handle...but geesh. I am sad, numb, pissed, confused, scared for so many different reasons...
I just had to get this all off my chest so I can try to push on today with positive somehow. God be with all these families, but also God help me too. Thanks for listening, sorry to be such a downer, I just felt I could come here and talk to you guys..
How does a stress eater/emotional eater not eat during all this? When you are a stress eater you don't look for healthy things to eat, you go for the not good stuff...
Just a lot going on, and I want positive today like I usually am.

CHEERS TO A BETTER DAY! :drinker:

You already know what to do You came here. There will be good news in the future. Look for it. Sounds like you could get some frustration and anger out by doing some exercise. Faith helps too. You have a lot on your plate but remember you don't have to hold the worlds weight on your shoulders. Its to heavy of a load.

So you've said it out loud....Now, ask yourself WHAT CAN YOU CHANGE on that list?

Yes, all of the things are TERRIBLE and just 1 would be a lot for a person to handle, BUT what can you do about that stuff? If you are able to help or change it, then do so. If NOT????? TAKE CARE OF YOU.....THATS HOW YOU WILL HELP THEM. A healthy person can be strong for someone who needs it.

My mom has been fighting a rare form of brain cancer for over 10 years. I'm speaking from experience. Sending good thoughts your way. Have a BETTER day and rest of week.

So sorry to hear of all you are dealing with and for those who are going through the valley. But you are right, God will not give you more than He knows you can handle. He will give what you need to walk through this difficult time. Maybe you could just cry out to God, pouring out your heart to Him. He is longing to hear from you. He already knows what you are feeling (the good and the bad). It's not surprise to Him. Let God comfort you.

I'm praying for God's peace and comfort for you and your loved ones.

Girl...dang! That IS a lot.

As someone who has a very full plate right now, as well, I can offer you this:

TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST....If you are down, you can't help anyone else. This means that you may have to take one hour a day out for you...retail therapy, a long walk in a favorite place, a workout (if that will help), coffee with a friend, a long soak in a bubble bath with a good book (my personal favorite).

After that, one day at a time, one meal at a time, try to make healthy choices, which can be hard when you stress eat (I get this, too, since I am a chronic stress eater).

Help where you can, offer support where you can, but remember that there are only so many hours in a day, so don't take on too much, as that can be terribly overwhelming.

Hang in there, sweetie!

praying in agreement. amen.

I am so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with all this but I do have some advise. I do have to tell you my story first. First of all, I am not a drinker or partier. Last friday a friend of mine called me and said wouldn't it be fun to go downtown in a cab like they do in the movies and grab a bite to eat. I was a little skeptical at first but it sounded fun and the more she talked about getting all dressed up the more fun it sounded so I went. We called a cab company and the cabbie was very nice. He gave us a business card for the cab company and wrote his phone number on it. When we were done we called the number and he said he would be there in 10 mins. Ten mins later another cabbie showed up from the same company. I leaned in the cab and said did AJ send you? He said yep sure did. So I got in. After he took off my friend said "Hey dont you need to know where we are going?" he said you are going wherever the F I want to take you. I will spare you the details of the things he said to us. His plan was to rape us. We begged him to let us out at several places he refused. When he slowed down at a light we jumped out. My friend was injured badly and we had to hide in the trees because he was looking for us. I called 911- The police came. Needless today say I did a LOT of emotional eating up until Monday when I said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I decided that I was only hurting myself worse. On monday I put in my Ipod and put on some angry music and I ran and ran and ran and cried and cried and cried. This is the best therapy in the world and I highly recommend it. I am so so sorry about what you are going through and you do probably need to see a counselor.
I do not understand why so much is hitting you at once either it is just too much. I do understand they say that God doesn't put to much on us than we can bare but sometimes it is hard to feel like we can make it through. Just keep your faith and keep your focus and channel your sorrow a differant way besides eating. It doesnt even have to be work out related you need to say to yourself - everytime I feel overwhelmed - I will do this _____ fill in the blank, watch a happy movie, read a book, write in a journal, listen to uplifting music ect. I am so sorry to hear about your family not telling you about your aunt that is just so messed up. I am praying for all your situations and I do feel sad for you.

I will pray for you , your family & friends... hang in there sista, the rain will stop & the sun will peek thru the clouds! B-):flowerforyou:

That's a lot to be going through. Hang in there girl.
