Well, maybe it's the full moon, but I had a doozy of a day too. I'm so sorry you are in such a difficult place right now. I know how scary and stressful a move can be. You have found a wonderful source of support here. Perhaps you can find a SP group near where you are moving and find out some of the good things you will have to look forward to there.
I think you have a good idea of putting your vent here, sometimes it's best just to rant to "strangers". I've quit calling my mom to vent because everytime I do, she has some trauma that trumps mine..."Did I tell you your grandma has a huge ovarian tumor that needs to be removed? or Did I tell you your great aunt passed away today?" I'm scared to call her anymore, but it did remind me that whatever I'm going through someone else has it worse and if I can take a step back I can usually gain perspective. Like tonight, my son may be acting like a little punk, but I have to remember he is healthy and typically sweet and tonight's fight will pass.

I totally know how you feel. It seems like this month that we had a run of bad luck. One thing or another was going wrong. I ate way to much too. Which is my way to escape, food seemed to get rid of the stress at that moment. I could also use help in this park of dieting. One thing though that makes the day is giving my daughter a hug or just sit and watch her play. They have such a care free life. She makes me smile. Hope all looks better for you soon.

Today I think I reached my rock bottom. So many things went wrong in my life and I sometimes ask myself what did I do to deserve the amount of stress I am dealing with... I dont think I can lose weight because everyday I medicate myself with a lot of food just to make it by daily. From kids to work to finances I find myself going through hell. Today I couldnt have possibly had a worser day and Im sure Im going to gain 10 pounds from it too. Honestly, how do you get through tough periods in life and still stay committed to losing weight. I feel discouraged and emotionally drained. I cant tell my husband about this because I want him to not get stressed so in fact I have no one to talk to.The most difficult part is that I just cant see any positive happening this year. We work overtime each day, we are juggling the kids, we are in the process of moving to a new place 2000 km away, I will have to live by myself for 3 months while my husband works in a remote area, we need eachother for support and strength AND I feel exhausted!!!!!!!!. It wasnt always like this, we had a great life up till a last year. But when we had money galore all family reached out and grabbed it and now that we have none nobody is there to help us. Im sorry but I needed to vent a little.
