I just got some bad frustrating sad news this morning. The situation is totally beyond my control and can only be resolved through time. I am an emotional eater. I am not going to eat. I have changed to my workout clothes, and my home gym better watch out. I am going to BURN all the sadness, anger and frustration I feel. Then, if I have enough energy left, I might CRY! :sad:

    Sorry for your bad news!

    I am an emotional eater too ... or just an eater in general. I love your determination. Remember, exercise release endorphins. It should make you feel at least a little better. And I'm pretty sure crying burns calories, so have at it!

    I hope everything gets better soon for you!

    Sorry for your bad news. But that's a great attitude that you have. I went through a tough time last spring that just screams "you're going to pack on at least ten pounds from this". But I didn't let it, I was so angry and hurt over what was going on, that I would be damned if I would let that ruin anything else in my life that I had worked for hard for. So not only did I not gain, but I continued losing.

    It also helped to see that I can go through a really bad time and still come out on top, so I know that I can make it through other tough times in the future without gaining.

    Hang in there:flowerforyou:

    Thanks for this topic!!!! I really screwed up the last five days with emotional eating!!!! I was so angry with myself. Today, I ate curly fries, which I know I shouldn't have done, but I did it anyway. I am off to the gym for a good workout. Reading your stories gives me incentive. Now I know I am not in this alone. I have to pick myself up and start all over again.

    :smile: Thanks for the encouragement. I did 49 minutes and burned 326 calories. I don't feel like crying now. I'll do what I can, make the most of the situation and let go of the parts I can't control. It's a high brick wall, but I'll get over it. I really appreciate all of you MFP members. You are the GREATEST!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Lol! Ihad a bad day this week too and did the same thing... then I came on here and logged my exercise and tried to log crying. Guess they don't have a calculation for crying yet... wonder if the Livestrong site does.

    Way to go, girl!

    Don't let them get you down!
