Sorry to hear about Buster! 

I can feel my mind thinking about binge eating. It's the weirdest thing. I am working, I am tired, I'm sad, and I stressed out b/c my co-worker is being a butt head. So as a stress relief I tend to let my mind wander to binge eating b/c that always makes me feel better. Unfortunately, I can't said "made" me feel better because it still is my drug of choice. This is decision time for me. I need to decide not to binge eat and to take a nap and a walk when I get home. I need to exercise other ways of self-care besides drugging myself with junk food.  

😢😞 

sorry to hear about buster! That's hard for any animal lover, especially a therapy dog. when you think of binging, just tell yourself that 'I don't eat that'. it'll mitigate the urge until you distract yourself with better, heathier options. lots of love you way my friend! you can do this! 

I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Buster. It's hard, they are part of the family and especially when someone depends on the dog to comfort their anxieties.  

So sorry to hear about the dog. I can relate 

Thanks for the kind comments. I keep coming back to post more bc I am using FS journaling as a tool to help me when I want to binge eat. I don't feel like taking a walk but I may need to if I keep picking. I had SF jello, a fat bomb, 200 calories worth of almonds. I am not hungry anymore so I need to stop.  

Sorry about Buster Hon. If you have a smartphone load the insighttimer meditation app on your phone. If not, use your computer and go out to insighttimer dot com and look at the guided meditations. Find one that seems to speak to what you need and follow the directions. LOL It will give you something to do besides stuff things in your mouth to feel good! LOL This is another, other(giggle) way to feel good! And how about taking the boyfriend and his sister to find a cat, or does she hate cats? Older ones can be more loving for shut ins and require less maintenance. They want pets, treats, food and a clean box. 🤷🏻‍♀️Most dogs I know have woken me up in the middle of the night. LOL (most cats too come to think of it, different reasons though🤦🏻‍♀️dogs-potty🤷🏻‍♀️cats-racetrack) Yeah, they’re about even in the annoyance factor there. 💁🏻‍♀️Hope things go well. Don’t let it stress you into a binge. The sister isn’t you so you, however attached you are don’t need to swallow the problem. The annoying co/worker? You’re home now. Why is she annoying? Just to be a b!tch? Is she jealous of you? Does she want your job? Figure out the answer and be constructive about the solution. If she’s just a natural b!tch, is there a reason why? (You do not get to eat while problem solving! This is a wet exercise, not a crunch and munch one!👵🏻Ask Cousin Irma Francine! Oops she’s adopted another one!) 🙋🏻 Too late now Shelly! LOL 😘You’ve been claimed by my 90 year old diaper wearing alter ego who wants to ride Harleys, loves brownies, boys, and whines! 🤗 

Nice outside, yea! It was sunny here for two lovely days but is rainy and dark again. This soon will pass. Enjoy your good weather.

So sorry about Buster. We all love our furbabies and it is so hard when they pass. Always loved, never forgotten. Maybe eventually you three can find another dog that will help his sister too. Stay strong about the binging. It is too easy to fall back into old traps even though it may be comforting.
