Hey ...

I am restarting my diet today. I had a gastric bypass in october of 2010, and have lost about 100lbs. In October of 2011 my mother passed away, and life went crazy. I put 20lbs back on, not by stretching my stomach, but by making poor choices, and emotional eating.

Things have finally seemed to settle down, and I am noticing more and more that I am eating to avoid emotions. Today, I paid close attention to how I was feeling, and I have to say ... it was hard to make myself wait till lunch to eat. I wanted to go get a snack "because I was hungry". I wasnt really. I had a good breakfast of oatmeal, and some homemade quiche for lunch. When I realized that I hadnt packed a snack, i kinda freaked a little. I didnt pack a snack because I knew that breakfast nad lunch were going to be more than enough to hold me till dinner.

I think it's good that I can recognize that it is "head hunger" not real hunger, but I hate this panicky feeling when I cant eat. Tonight I plan to go to the gym, and do some time on the treadmill. Wish me luck!

ok. So, this is my first journal entry, and im afraid there wont be enough space! I have fallen off the wagon with a mere 30lbs to go. Doesnt sound like such a bad thing, but when you consider everything that has gone on in the past month and a half ...

I got married on 9/10/11. Best day of my life! My husband is my best friend, confidant and everything I ever wanted. He truly is my other half. A week after we got married, my mother got pnuemonia. Se went into the hospital, and was put on life support. She died on 10/1/11.

Moms death left a hole in my heart, and a 14 year old in my custody. Hell of a way to start a new life, right? Instead of actually dealing with Moms death, I have just kinda pretended it never happened. Or so I thought. I have realized recently that I am back to using food for comfort, and kind of therapy, if you will. I know this is not the way to handle my grief, but I cant seem to make it stop.

I figure if I go back to journaling my eating, and maybe getting back to regular excersize I might be able to beat this. I cant do this to myself. I worked really hard to get down to these last 30 pounds (I had a gastric bypass a little over a year ago). I am sick to my stomach afraid that I am going to ruin the surgery.

What I really need is someone OUTSIDE the family to talk to. Problem is, talking about it makes me sad. I dont want to be sad, i dont have time for it. Somebody help me, please .....
