old member, haven't posted for a while

I am a life timer in Weight watchers, made goal almost 3 years ago and did
well to maintain it for about 2 years then gained about15 of it back, then
my dear husband died 7 months ago today, and I lost all of it plus more, I
know that it was an emotionally weight loss, have managed to stay under goal
until these past couple weeks and this week gained 5.6 pounds. I think that
I have gone from not eating to that is all I do now to deal with my life.
It should be so easy no one here to cook for except myself. I was doing good
now not sure what is going on, I am exercising 4 times a week and have been
staying within points until this past 2 weeks or so and it is if it is in
the house I will consume it.
I no I have been thru a tough time, but at first I couldn't eat at all, then
I started slowly eating and watching what I was eating, Now it is like who
cares, just eat and I am making terrible choices, candy and more candy and
ice cream, things I never ate even before.
Well I know WW works I just need to get my focus back and remember I am
doing this for me and no one else.
thank for letting me vent,
Becky

I am so sorry for your loss, food can be a coping mechanism so don't think
you are bad or anything... take your time to get back into eating healthy,
you have just had the worst possible life stress, Lee

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You may be reacting to holiday time that
will be over soon. Take time to get yourself back on track.

Purging your house of the goodies might help get you headed in the right
direction. I'm much better staying focused when the stuff is not around. In
addition to reaching out to us, how about going to a WW meeting or 2? Having
someone to talk to on a weekly basis might also help. Since you seem to be
going through some emotional changes have you thought about getting some
grief counselling? A few years ago we lost 4 family members and getting some
grief couselling really help my sanity. In the meantime, we're hear to
listen. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a great place to vent and get some
positive feedback so continue to post.

Thank you all for your kind words, I am actually seeing thinking of seeing a
counselor this next week. I do go to weekly meetings on Saturday but had
been away for a couple weeks, will have to get back into that regularly,
Thanks again

Have some hugs: ((((((BECKY))))))

Take one day at a time. Try planning ahead if you can, and just don't
buy those trigger foods. You'll soon get back into the good habits, but
don't be hard on yourself. You are still in the early stages of coping
with the grief.
