I don't know what made me stop in this forum tonight, but I want you to know I feel your pain with my whole heart. Emotional eating was never a problem for me. But I suffered a miscarriage at 11 weeks earlier this year and after that I ate everything that wasn't nailed down, trying to fill up the empty place inside.

Didn't work. Gained 20 lbs in about 4 months. Therapy and time helped me deal with the loss of my child, and oddly, so did making a commitment to this WOE and my health in general. I know that my heatlh didn't cause me to miscarry, but I also know that I can't do anything else for that baby, and I kind of wanted to do something in her "honor".

I hope you hear what I am saying, it's hard to express. You miss your baby, and I am SO sorry you had to go through this. But just maybe, you deciding to commit to being healthier for your living children, and any more that may come along, and their children, will bring "honor" to the boy you lost.

And be gentle to yourself. This is a terribly hard time and you deserve to grieve that baby as long as you have to.

Hugs,
Denise
