Hang in there. And give yourself credit. At least the first thing you didn't reach for was a box of chocolates. You went for what you should have gone for- egg salad. Hopefully the mayo and the eggs will fill you up before you get to those goodies. Drink alot of water and if that doesn't sound good then drink some dietrite, anything that will fill up your tummy before you dive into the goodies. that's what I do, then if you do have one..limit yourself and say...It's ok cuz it's LC and I'm not going to eat a whole box cuz then it'd be high carb. Take the guilt out of it by allowing yourself a small treat then say, OK it's time to stop before it becomes high carb. Think about WHY you're sad. If it's over a fight with this guy, then do you want to gain weight and make yourself feel worse? No guy is worth punishing yourself over. If it was your fault then you need to forgive yourself, we all make mistakes. Believe me, my DH and I have had our fair share of fights over the past 10 years. We all deal with it differently. I'd go to Toys R US and buy the kids toys when I was sad but now I have a messy house full of toys to deal with. I didn't get fat from that but I sure made things worse for me around the house. I think it made me feel like I was getting him back by spending his hard earned money on things we didn't need. You need to do something constructive, like go work out to release the stress or write a letter to vent, even if you never give it to him it will help you let go of some anger/hurt/stress. And most of all, try not to worry. Remember, Action conquers fear!!! Good luck, Annie
