I'm a basketcase

I lost my mom yesterday morning. I am an emotional eater and I have eaten nothing healthy pizza carl's jr etc etc. I logged yesterday and today I have the I don't give a *kitten* attitude. Work has given me as much time off as I need. I weigh in on Friday and it said I gained 4 pounds not sure if keto is for me or not but I want to stick to it ASAP. I have been here for almost 100 days and 0 pounds lost because it goes up and down and I start with an heavier weight

I hope you are doing OK. It's a holiday a something came up that reminded of my dear deceased Mom. It will be 10 years. I smile more often now with the memories than I did a few years ago.

Hope you're doing ok today. I've been thinking of you.

I wish I could say something that could help ease your pain and I'm sure I'd be a wreck too, if it was my mother, so I will only say I'm terribly sorry for your heartbreak. Take care of yourself and don't be afraid to lean on close friends and others at this time, if they offer it. It won't make you any less strong. I promise. Hugs.

Best possible thing you could be doing, well done.

Sometimes it's a professional we need, to give us a handle on how to cope, and it's the ideal solution.
Be well, take care.

I agree. Professional help would be a great way to let things out and see you through the grieving process.

Today is my mom's funeral :'( :'( :'( :'(

The time after can be difficult. Not just today but for however long afterwards. After the funeral tends to be the time many think it is now time to carry on with your life just as your Mom would "want" or you "should". Be with family and friends.

Grief is not something you go around or go over. You have to go through it. Take your time.

I just want to say I'm so sorry for your loss. There are so many good suggestions here from those who have been in your shoes. All I can say is grief has its own timetable. We can only do the best we can for ourselves while its with us.
