I'm so very sorry to hear this! Will keep you in my thoughts! Absolutely be kind to yourself as stated above. Please remember that we are here if you need us.

Thank y'all. I had a really bad weekend, so I'm feeling guilty but have done a lot better today -- or at least up until just after lunch when I stressed out bad and found that I was out of my emergency no-sugar chocolate, so I caved and had a real candy bar. First one I've had in over 6 months! It was heavenly, but I won't…

D'oh! And welcome aboard! :)

You are definitely not alone in this! I eat out a lot because I stay on the go and don't cook for myself as I should. I have tried to make an effort to eat healthier even if it is take out, but I know cooking your own food is still better. And yeah, carbs are definitely an addiction! The struggle is real. :persevere:

Logging has helped me too, but there are some days I just say "f*** it" and eat what I want whether I log it or not because I feel the need for that emotional comfort.

Looking back at my post, I hadn't known that I was about to have a really good day that day. I had an appointment about an hour afterwards. I found out that I'd lost 14lbs! I cried. The poor lady weighing me thought I was upset and was trying her best to console me, and I was like "No, you don't understand! I've lost…

I hired a physical trainer this week. I know this will be good for me. I need accountability to make myself get out of the house and it will get me more active. My first session is Wednesday. I'm nervous.

I've wondered if acupuncture would work for me. I get a acupressure massage from time to time, as a reward, and those help. Has anyone here ever had acupuncture and could share your experience?

You are doing awesome! :)

Welcome aboard! Don't give up hope, you can beat this!

Bless your heart. Happy belated Birthday! Mine was the 15th. I hope your day went well!

I haven't weighed myself since I was diagnosed with Diabetes in February. I was at my heaviest I've ever been in my life. I'm too afraid to do so on my own because I have a bad habit of fixating on numbers. I have a follow-up appointment with the doctor that diagnosed me, so I'm worried about how much (or little) I've…

Oh wow, I like that idea! I wonder if we could set something like that up? A text support group, I like it!

A friend at work taped a piece of paper to my monitor that said, "It's ok, we all struggle. Keep your chin up!" I don't know what motivated her to do that, but I really need it! I have another piece that my best friend sent me on Facebook, with a butterfly tied to a stone, titled "Let s--t go!"

Those are binge triggers for me as well as depression. There are several threads here suggesting ways to help deal with them. I'm trying to make a habit of meditating every day, especially bad days, to keep from looking to food for comfort.
-
Yeah I have, several times in fact. I know they aren't doing it out of malicious intent, but it's frustrating. I don't want to hurt their feelings, but can't help but feel like they don't take it seriously.

Hi CaliVictoria, welcome aboard! Like you, I was also recently diagnosed as Type 2 and my comfort foods are carbs. Please feel free to friend me. You are not alone in this! :)

I've also stopped keeping cash at work. If I have money, I have temptation. :(

Welcome! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

I fell off the wagon so to speak last week, and all this week so far I've felt like crap and felt guilty for eating so badly. I'm trying to get back on track. Moderation is a problem for me because I've been stressing this week which doesn't help, so I overeat to compensate. (and then hate myself for it)
-
Don't beat yourself up, you are doing great!
-
I feel you and am still fighting it. *HUGS* Keep at it, you can beat this!
-
I agree. Thank you. :) I fell off the wagon, so to speak, last week. It was my birthday, and I decided that because I was also PMSing to say "*kitten* it" and eat pretty much whatever I wanted. Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty crappy this week and I think it's because I wasn't eating well. I'm back on track, but feeling…

Powetik, I sent you a friend request too. I definitely need the help. I had a bad weekend. I had a date that didn't go well, plus I was sick Saturday so had to cancel a follow-up date I had already made with the same guy previously in the week (and considering how Friday night went, that was probably a good thing!), but I…

Hi, I sent you a friend request! :)

Hi, I'm new to the group. Feel free to add me. This is why I joined this group. I've been an emotional eater pretty much my whole life. I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic two weeks ago tomorrow. It's been the push I needed to actually do the things I have talked about for a while -- eating better, exercising. But I've had…
