Fallen off and I need your help.

[Miss Seaneen]

I had three lots of bad news come to me last week, like some horrible genie, just coming my way. I've spent since Friday having toast shovelled down my face by sympathetic friends. I haven't binged or anything, not touched sugar, mostly just bread. But when I get like that, I just don't care about myself. But i need to. I've only gained 2lbs because of it but thats not the point.

I need a buddy, some words, anything to get me out of this slump and get me started tomorrow. I know I should be able to do it myself but I feel so low right now it is hard. Please help!

:hug I know that we all get bad news but I promise if you get boack on the wagon you will feel better. One thing that really struck me the other day is that the way I eat is one thing I have total control of in my life. When everything else is falling apart and insanity has broken loose and I cannot control or fix any of it I can control my eating. My life and emotions seem to be much more in check with the ability to control even a little aspect of it.
I understand you may be in pain right now but feeding the pain does nothing but prolong the feeling. I wish you the best. :hug

I know where you are comming from and last year in Febuary I did just that after my husband had his accident, I fell off. I should have come here for support but, I hid in a corner and tried to deal with it myself and then came all the emotional eating to deal with my stress. You have taken a step in the right direction and have come here for support that is awesome. I know times come when everything seems to be against you but, you have the will to survive this and achieve your goal and this will only make you stronger. I know you can do it and I will be here if ever you need to vent, talk, anything. I am here for YOU.

I guess the bottom line is, we're all human and stuff is gonna happen. I'm so glad that you're able to come here and hopefully get the support you need. I know you can do it because I really feel that you want to. Just take it one mouthful of food at a time. We're all here for you.

We're here to support and encourage you!! Eating bread and crap foods will only make you feel worse .. My advice is to re-read DANDR and find your motivation again .. YOU CAN DO IT!

Look, I was the world's couch potato up until I found Atkins .. if I can turn it around at age (nearly) 50, so can you. I am here for you!! Let me know what I can say or do to help!

Aww Big Hugs from me to you :hug

If want to look at the positive side of things, I've heard bad things comes in 3s, and since thats already happened so only good things can come from this. One of them being your ability to get back on track and tell bread to take a hike. Another is coming here for support - and we have tons to give!

So keep your head up, and we are always here for you! Big Hugs again! :hug

I love you guys, thank you so much. I'm ok, just everything has been crap recently. Grandad's illness has taken a severe turn for the worst, dad has gone missing and had a major relationship upset all in the same few days. But I'm back on my feet, just need a little convalesence time to sort my brain out.

I'm restarting Monday. I know I should do it RIGHT NOW but if I don't set a proper date I'll keep putting it off. And Monday is a new week and I know how I feel about setting dates- I do stick to them. I won't be binging or anything, I still haven't touched sugar or anything, and will eat as well as I can.

Totally overwhelmed by the support here, you reached out when I really needed you and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you ha :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug :hug and millions more!

I also "fell" last August and lasted through the holidays. :bang It was hard but like you, I set a date and stuck to it.

You can do it and we are all here to help you :nod I could not have gotten back on track if it weren't for all the awesome people on this board!!

I agree, when life throws you some curves that are not within your control, you do have control of what you put in your mouth. Always remember why you started this WOL in the first place :hug :hug :hug

i 'fell' from atkins too when my mom passed away in december...and i fell hard i ate all sorts of junk and lots of it to try to comfort myself. i felt disgusted with myself and came here for support and many people replied and helped give me the motivation i needed to get started. so you definately did the right thing by coming here for support. everyone here is around to support you and help keep you motivated...i'm glad you're going to get back with it Monday...you'll be glad you did and feel so much better. like spiritwalker said atleast your eating is one thing in your life you can have complete control over and feel good about even if everything else seems to be out of contol. hope things get better for you good luck! let us know how you're doing. :hug

[cruiser gal]

Hi :hug You've come to the right place. What has happened to you is all part of life, and happens to us all at some time or another. Afterall we are human! The thing to remember is that you are in control now, and with help and encouragement, it will be a thing of the past. Let's move on, you have done so well, and will continue to do so :hug

[Isabeau]

Just checkin' in to see how you're doin'. Glad to hear you're staying off the sugar, good for you.
