Oh, daviska95, I am so desperately sorry things are so hard for you. How unbelievably hard. I hope you can get some help and find a way forward to take care of yourself and your needs. Thank you for sharing and being kind to me. Hang in there! We are on this crazy journey together even as strangers! ❤️

Honestly, I'm often scared of sliding back too. Probably won't feel safe until it's been five years at least.

I get it. Sometimes I really don't get my behavior. Sometimes I think I eat BECAUSE I am angry at myself for not being able to control things, myself and the things (people), and situations in the world around me.

The habits die hard. I have my own to contend with. Just know a bobble isn't a failure. We all do new things imperfectly. :)

lineruds, thank you! That is all super good advice and I appreciate your "getting it!" I know it isn't about perfection but moving forward and making better choices. Food is the thing we have to have and how we use it is... Well for good or bad. Hope you have a great day! 😁

Melissa, I do well with some parts (training hard, tracking, being consistent, not going crazy about numbers in isolation) but am weak in other ways (donuts lol). Reading all your stories reminds me of the different challenges people face and things to learn ❤️

Is it something in the air? I too have been having eating issues... especially at night. Im not stressed, just not feeling well...
I hope you are able to rebound, you know my thoughts and prayers are always with you!💜💜💜

Melissa I'm sorry that you feel burdened with the stresses of life. I won't make light of them. I pray that you continue to hold onto your faith. It has carried you this far and I believe it will carry you going forward.
Ageing is a bitter pill to swallow until we consider the alternative. Sure, sore knees and joints, the loss of speedy recoveries and the extra effort it takes to maintain an active lifestyle are challenges that suck. I would love to feel competitive with the younger body builders here but that is not going to happen at my age. What has happened is that I have begrudgingly accepted my limitations and I try to allow myself to focus on what is best, right now; for me and mine.
You are an amazing woman. You could have done a lot worst than turn to "sweet and savory" in frustration. A lot of people wish that was their problem. They are cheering for you and I am too. I'm not saying that all will be easy going forward. I am saying that a snack, is just a snack, and not a huge deal in the end. May peace and blessings be with you...

I hear you Melissa. It happens, on so many different levels doesn't it? I so admire you. 💕 Looking at the overall picture, you've done an amazing job taking care of your family and yourself. I love that you get back up, every single time, no matter what it is. I here. 💕

This is only a temporary state of mind for you! I know this because you are a smart lady! You are too intelligent (and strong!) to let this drag you down into a place where you don't feel comfortable. You will claw your way back to that place where you are happy. It's a challenge, but you are not a quitter! I'm sorry things are rough and I hope the tide turns quickly for you!

Seriously, I am so incredibly blessed by you my friends. How can strangers mean so much? I guess it is years of looking into the little widows of our lives that we share here and trying to love and understand each other. When I look at your "names," I see real people who are a huge part of my life. Thank you so much for holding me up in my weakness. I am thankful to God for your kindness!
