So, I was dating a solid guy who I thought had potential as a life partner. No longer dating said guy. Sad because I really like(d) him and just tired of trying to find love and being disappointed again and again.
I WANT MY HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
So, I eat to soothe my sadness. I sleep to avoid thinking about it.
Eating and sleeping do not help my weight-loss journey.
HELP!
I struggle with this one too...guess I feel like if I am feeling sad/upset I deserve to eat something REALLY good...and a lot of it. I feel your pain. The ONLY thing that works for me is to stay VERY busy--which in itself is hard when you are feeling down. However, that is my best advice. Hope others respond as I am sure the majority of us struggle with emotional eating...You will have your happily ever after, maybe when you least expect it.
ReplyDeleteI wrote the book on this one. Age 70 almost, married for two disastrous years at age 24. Single ever since. Here's the thing: I'm not that sorry. Really. As I have beheld the relationships around me among family and friends, I've found only two or three couples whose lives I'd rather have in terms of the pair bonding. I WANTED to have Happily Ever After (and children), but by the time I was 40 or so, I had to move on to Plan B. I looked aghast at the husbands around me---brothers-in-law, friends, my own ex--and said, "Listen, girl, it's better to be alone than in bad company." Now studies routinely report that UNMARRIED women more often report satisfaction/happiness than those who are married or in permanent relationships. Go figure! Married men report the highest level of satisfaction, but not their wives. So maybe I wasn't tragically flawed when I left every relationship and ditched a dozen suitors. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :-) Bright, educated, attractive, go-get-'em women like you, B-cubed, belong to a vast club. I send you hugs.
