Kicked unfaithful husband out, eating like crazy

*Hugs* It's going to be okay. If you want to work, go apply for everyone that is hiring. Find a sitter. Talk to your DH. Find out if you guys want to work this out or not. I'm so sorry this happened.

that's awful, but remember that you're not alone - there are thousands upon thousands of people without jobs right now, and i'm sure there are PLENTY that are having relationship problems as well. But think of it this way (in terms of your emotional eating) - it may provide you with temporary comfort, but it will only make you feel worse about yourself because that's "ANOTHER thing" that "isn't going right" for you. if you can really stick to your diet and exercise plan, and just power through, it will really give you something to focus on, and feel good about!

so just keep powering through, remember you're not alone, and with a bit of time it will really start to show and pay off, and all those awful days in between really begin to mean something, because you did something really positive and beneficial for YOU, and you can feel really good about that.

hugs

That is terrible. Emotional eating is the worst- don't beat yourself up too much for it though. You're doing the best you can with a crap situation. Try to remember that you can't control him, but you do have control over you. Do your best to be strong and there are lots of people here for support if you ever need it. This too will pass.

Slimming mom, you look great in that picture. Now, when I'm really angry at someone, I go to the gym and work it off. Some how my workouts are really good when I'm angry. You don't have to have a gym to do that. As suggested, you can go for a walk (or a run). Sometimes, when I'm so angry, running hard was the only thing that made me feel a bit better (getting all the pent up stress out of my system).

Now, what you do with your husband will depend on what you want (of course). What ever you decide, whether you reconcile or stay separated, what you do next should be for yourself. Be strong, be deliberate. Think it through. What do you want? What will make you happy? How can you be independent and happy? What would do it? This is where friends and family come in. Don't be afraid to accept help from your support group. But whatever you do, figure out your plan, short term, and long term. Also, look at all contingencies. If you separate, will he want you to have custody, or will he fight for custody? Will he pay child support? What do you need to do to be prepared if you would need to go to court? What does the court require to award custody? Start writing all of these things down. Also, start keeping a record of your experiences with him (you may need it in the future). Start answering these questions for yourself. And the more you devote to preparing yourself for this, the less time you'll have to eat like crazy. In other words, for the time, you can use this work as a surrogate for your inclination to over eat and be in that dark place.

I'm very sorry. Be at peace with yourself. You were not the unfaithful one, you didn't break the marriage contract, and you can feel good about that.

I'm so sorry to hear. Men can be pigs. Focus on baby. You are not alone. You never will be alone again. That baby needs you.

Take a breath....inhale...exhale...repeat as needed!
Food is not happiness even if it is a soft place to fall right now.

Take a breath....inhale...exhale...repeat as needed!
It will be o.k.

My hugs to you! Please take of yourself! You deserve it and so does your child!

I need motivation and support. I feel SOOO alone. I've got my 8 month old to take care of and i've got no job and i'm just sooo stressed!!!

I had a dream about this last night, but I was slim and sexy

So sorry for your pain. Try to turn it into something positive. He is gone, you need to show him how intelligent and energetic and healthy you really are. Make him rue the day he acted like such a dog.

YOU are worth every moment, every second you put into a healthier life. Not just for you, but for the life your baby WILL lead either way.

Imagine your life for the next 5 years if you continue the way you are now. Picture the food, you child eating take out burgers and fries and turning into a statistic.

Now picture yourself cooking good food. The only thing your baby knows is grilled veggies and baked chicken. He/she asks to go outside and play.....ride the bikes or go for a walk with Mommy, because that is what YOU chose right this very minute.

Hugs to you sweety. I am angry with my DH this morning and it was only a dream, cannot imagine real life experience.

:flowerforyou: Jeannie

Thinking about you today. You'll get thru this.

Don't let him throw you off your game. Not worth it...

How are you!? You haven't reposted! I hope everything is working out and you took control back over ur body/eating/excercise! You can do this for you!!

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this. (((HUGS))) Good for you for standing up for yourself and kicking your husband out. NO ONE deserves to be cheated on, NO ONE. It's going to be hard, but you only have two options: lie on the floor or get back up. Find a positive way to deal with your emotions so you can set an example for your little one.

What helped me with my emotional eating was when everything in my life was crazy and out-of-control, the one thing that I could control was what I ate. I hope this helps. Also, your baby needs a strong healthy momma. Take Care!
