anybody else very emotional

when was that baby born? could you have postpartum depression? or are you TOM? usually that does it for me

I usually am around the Holidays but today instead of eating away the emotions I took some pictures of myself and actually stood and looked at how far I've come by not emotional eating anymore.

I have been very emotional to on this journey to weight loss ..
For me its letting go of all the pain and anger i have keeped in side of me
for way to long .. So i look at it as lossing this weight is help me lose the past as well ..
You will over come this in time ..

i have also felt like that at times as well, everything just seems to be so overwhelming at times, :sad: i really have no one to talk to, so at times when i feel like this, i do cry, especially when my family is asleep at night, i dont like my kids to see me cry cause i dont want them to worry or think anything is wrong, but, i feel if you keep it in, it builds up to much and then you might start to feel angry, so let it out and then after tell yourself..AAWWE THAT FELT GOOD...

well it takes 2 yrs for your body to completely recover from having a baby the trauma is the equivalent to falling down a flight of stairs, so that definitely could be a factor... mmmm menstral cycle, blood sugar rising and dropping (are you eating regularly), sleep deprivation (i'm guessing thats a big YES to that). i'm just thinking what causes my mood swings. if not you mite wanna see a DR..?? could possibly be PPD ( post pardum depression)

I find your concern interesting.
Friendship is a really interesting thing. Sometimes people are just thoughtless and not malicious. Sometimes people pick others to be their "friend" to make themselves feel better. I don't know if this is your first child or a multiple but in my experience all major life changes impact us and force us to grow. When that happens, friendships either grow with us or wither away. Change in frienships can be the most painful thing in our life. What I finally accepted for myself was this, I am accountable to the family that God blessed me with. So, my energy and concerns are most fruitful directed there. I say that because for too long, my friendships were more like family connections and I was LOATH to lose them. Now I'm finally able to recognize, in spite of the pain, that one or both of us has grown in different directions and that usually helps me.

Somewhere I heard: HALT = Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired! That is usually the temp check to determine if your emotions are fully in reality or affected by one of those mitigating factors. If so, manage that factor before acting on or obsessing over any event, person or thing.

Best to you and Wy To Go not caving to the fast food urge! You're amazing to have avoided that trap. Who cares if some thoughtless B was responsible for it? You're the one that benefitted!

Keep on keepin on girl!
