Emotional Eating

Yesterday an EF4 tornado ripped through the area where my daughter, her husband and infant live. This is a picture of the area around the news station where my daughter is Executive producer and her husband is a teleprompter techinican. They were not home or at work, they were upstate visiting his mother where an EF3 tornado touched down.

 

Everyone is ok but I spent all day fighting the urge to eat out of stress and worry. It took my daughter and her family 6 hours to get back home, normally 2 1/2 trip, driving through debris and high winds.

 

Even though they are home safe and sound, even though their home sustained no damage, I am still worried and struggling with the need for emotional eating.

 

I know eating is not going to help my daughter. I know that overeating will only make me sick, but old habits are soooooo hard.

Thank goodness your daughter and her beautiful family are safe. I am a stress and emotional eater so I know where you are coming from. You are correct. Breaking the diet and eating things you shouldn't will not help your daughter nor will they help you. Change your thought process on this. Think that sticking to the plan will make you healthy and that health will get you a chance to visit with your daughter and her family. Stay focused and pray for those who suffered major losses in the tornados. Good luck in your struggles.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I've been following my daughter's news station online and changed my thought process like you suggested. If I focus on my weight loss process and concentrate on preparing for Thanksgiving, my daughter and granddaughter will come and get me and take me back to Peoria where I will be able to spend the holiday week with them. We are going to volunteer to help those who loss so much.
