Zen, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to post on this before now. As with you, life has been a wee bit crazy lately.

You know its amazing how stress effects our eating. You have to remember that surgery was on our stomach NOT on our head! We have years and years of learned behavior and it doesn't disappear along with our pounds. So, please, don't beat yourself up over this. It is important though, that you are recognizing the behavior. It isn't healthy behavior and obviously you know that. It is something you need to recognize and work on. You do need to CHANGE it and NOT ACCEPT it as "OK" behavior, because it isn't. But as in everything it is a learning process.

Don't beat yourself up, you "crusty ole' flower". That's not the way to take care of yourself. I know you know that. Your life is SO FULL of everyone and everything else. I think you need to re-evaluate it, maybe prioritize a bit differently, take a deep breath and take care of YOU! Your body, heart, mind and soul....ALL of you!

You're going to be ok....I'm sure of it!
