Last week was awful. I fell back on my emotional eating habits to deal with some pretty tough feelings of grief. I'm recommitting to my diet and exercise routine, hitting my macro targets daily. On top of dealing with the grief of losing my closest friend I'm trying to let go of any guilt and shame for eating poorly last week. I'm really not sure how to do this. I've never dealt with a death this close to me. I'm struggling to hang onto those healthy habits I've been building. This week is going to be really important for me to be very intentional with how I go about my days.

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I know it's hard to forgive yourself, but try to allow yourself some leeway - you have a lot on your plate at the moment. My dad is currently in the hospital awaiting a heart transplant so I have also been struggling with a lot of grief lately, and for me, journaling and meditation have helped to process a lot of those feelings. This is specifically for helping to maintain a healthy headspace, but a side-effect of this is that I'm not as prone to emotional eating as I have been in the past. Obviously your focus should be on your mental health and on the health of others touched by this tragedy, but I think you'll find that as you address those things, you will be more in control of other areas of your life as well. And you'll be in a better place to forgive yourself when you slip up. Also consider seeing a therapist, if you're able. This is a lot to process, and it's perfectly okay to ask for help. ❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words. I took most of the week off work last week. Spent some really healing time grieving with friends who were close to him. I'm grateful to have such a supportive community around myself. I'm getting back on track this week with nutrition, exercise and career. Also I love my therapist...He's amazing. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope and pray that he is able to receive the gift of a new heart. I know for myself that lifting others up when I am down helps me process. The words you said to me are so spot on. I would encourage you to honor your own words because I know that can be hard for me to do sometimes. Remember to lean into your support. We can't grieve in isolation and we have to be connected to make it though the pain. Stay up She_Loves

I'm so glad you have so much support around you! Thank you for your kindness, as well. It's hard sometimes to practice what we preach, as it were, but I will also try to reach out to those around me. Thank you - I sincerely hope you find peace and comfort. ❤️
