Emotional eating - how do you all deal with this?
My step mom is dying. My mom is in rehab after breaking her hip/ surgery and seems to be struggling -- all on the other side of the country. I just bought a ticket to fly to North Carolina later this week (again, I was there last week for my mom). I need to go support my dad as they try to bring step mom home for in-home hospice. Also, when my step mom passes, I am in charge of money for taking care of my dad(who is also pretty sick). I'm feeling sad and overwhelmed. I want a cookie. Or like, a box of cookies. And I know eating well is going to be really hard there.3 -

I was a social worker prior to moving to my current occupation.
Talk these feelings out with someone. Be it a close friend or a counselor. We carry so much internally at times and eventually it has to come out in some manner. I'm so sorry that you're going through a hard time.0 -

This is a lot to deal with. Distraction is one of the ways I deal with emotional eating. I agree talking with someone is a good idea. Also, make sure you make some me time. Go for a massage, pedicure or something else you find relaxing. Hugs!1 -

I am running behind once again this morning. I am going for my injections very soon. I had a great workout yesterday. I am back at the carpet cleaning this afternoon. Besides that, I will try to get some mini walks in.1 -

Thanks all for the well wishes and advice. Totally agree with all the things. Hoping to get to the gym tonight (we'll see- we may get more snow) which will help. I'm getting on a plane Thursday and am going to try to make good (ok, I'd be happy with decent) decisions about what I eat. I will try to weigh in early on Thursday if I remember. Otherwise, no weigh in on Saturday for me.

I'm super excited to see this drop after my weight shot up last Thursday (monthly fluctuation, but still). I was away in Great Lakes, IL for the weekend celebrating my great-nephew (1/11) and my (1/17) birthdays. All things considered, I ate well and moved a lot even though I did have cake, lol! We went up to Wisconsin for a half day of skiing, but I still didn't expect to lose the 2lbs gained last Thursday, plus 2 more. This is the beginning of the last year of my 40s and I'm determined to see significant changes this year.

Mindfulness is a great tool. I am doing a 3 month weekly mindfulness seminar. It is for dealing with pain but the doctor said it can be applied to other areas including weight loss.MSWarrior7088 wrote: »MSWarrior

It’s been a hard week but I managed to hang in there! Six weeks after I broke my ankle, I’m out of the boot and into an ankle brace. Needless to say I’m thrilled but I’m working a lot of sleepy muscles in my leg now and walking is exhausting! Rehab starts at the end of the month! I can DRIVE again so I’ll be able to slowly get back to working out at the gym! Have a great week!!!!3 -

I missed my step goal by 26 steps. 🤦♀️ No exercise today for me. My body is telling me to take it easy. I woke up with a headache at midnight and didn’t fall asleep until after 3 am. I am going to lay back down (something I try to avoid).
Happy Hump Day!1
