I am so frustrated. I cannot seem to get back on track. My husband quit his job a couple of weeks ago and I have been totally stressed. I know that's no excuse, but I can't seem to get a grip on my eating. PLEASE HELP! I feel so overwelmed and like such a failure.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

You will also be in my thoughts and prayers. This seems to be a hard time for a lot of people. I'm struglling right now with my eating because of stress and it's frustrating. I know you'll get a handle on things soon.

Christy- I am so sorry you are so stressed out! Have you found a local support group where you can connect (physically anyway) to some new people? I don't know if that would help you, but sometimes a face to face with someone is even better than online support. Just know we are here for you and I pray you will have peace and that will translate in your eating as well.

Christy, I hope things start getting better for you. You're always here to support us and I wish I could think of something to say, that would help.

You're definitely NOT a failure, you're just human. I'm learning more every day, that the hardest part of this journey is the emotional struggle. I know you're strong because your strength comes through, in your posts.

Try concentrating on your one year surgiversary. Maybe you can set a short term goal to reach before September 28. Maybe one of the other girls will join you in some kind of challenge. (I'm only a month out, but if I can help, please message me.)
Carol

You are not a failure, you are recognizing why you want to eat...stress. So now is the time to tell yourself that it is not OK to make bad food choices to aid your feelings, that your feelings are not going to dictate your food or your body.

I know job losses are stressful, I have gone through my share with my husband. But do not sabotage yourself in the process. You can do this and you will do this...now is the time to be strong with yourself.

You are definately not a failure. You have made such wonderful progress. I am sorry this is such a stressful time. I can relate completely because my husband quit his job and I had no health insurance for myself or my children for 8 months. Keep strong!!((HUGS)))

Its a tough road, but you are doing fine! I know that sometimes life comes in takes over and makes us reevaluate things at the WORST times! Just stick to your plan and let it fall into place. Thinking about you and your hubby!!!
