So many good advise. I too, just lost a good friend to cancer. Eating my way through the pain. Gaining my weight back. Not attending my meetings. Not exercising. The list goes on. (LIZ) SORRY for your loss. Hugs and prayers going your way. WE must stay strong.

I'm sorry for what you're going thru.
I know for me, food was always connected with events and emotions. It's the way I was brought up... we celebrate with food and mourn with food. Birthdays, showers, holidays, weddings, funerals... FOOD. Sometimes it's a joke, drown our sorrows of a break up or divorce with wine or ice cream, but when you think about it, it's not funny at all. I hope you're able to make wise food choices during your tough times ahead.

Thank you for all of your support and care. I was able to get back on my food plan. It first I felt like I was white knuckling it but as the days have gone by, it has become somewhat easier. I have fruit in my fruit bowl and vegetables cut up and ready to go. What I also realized is that I had lost myself in my anger and fear. I had to put myself back on the priority list. I am grateful to all of you. I just kept on reading and re-reading your posts. As my sister gets her second and possibly third opinion, I need to take care of myself so that I can support her.
Hugs to all who lost a special person or pet to cancer. I am sorry for your loss. Please take good care of yourselves.
Liz

lifelongd Your post makes me super happy...learning how to navigate tragedy and pain has really helped me with the inevitable ups and downs of life; there is so little that we really can control, accepting that and moving forward best we can is so key. ODAT (One Day at a Time.)

I am sorry you are facing such sadness. I have found that these days, when I am in need of comfort foods or just feeling like I want to indulge to eat away the stress, I have hit up my local grocery store salad bars. I treat myself to a warm cup of soup or some fresh fruit (already cut up for me and usually not in season), so it feels like a treat but doesn't totally derail my dieting efforts. Best of luck to you and wishing you peace!
