To ask for some tough love

[Christinedonna]

but not too tough
I recently lost 2 stone and FINALLY started to feel good about myself after having DD nine months ago. But the last few weeks I've been having a really shit time, at home and work and just in general. I've began looking into somewhere else for me and DD to live when I leave OH. Work is horrible and it's hard enough that I have to leave DD but loving the people I work with made it a lot easier. Someone new has started and basically made me life there hell. It's being "sorted". But all of this at once and me just feeling so down and lost has made me turn to food, and then because I feel shit about myself I eat more. I've only gained a few pounds but it's because I know I'm not in the right mind set that I can't me see getting back in a good place again soon. I don't want to ruin all my hard work and I know I'm being stupid (I'm sure you'll all tell me that) I just feel so sad and lost ATM, maybe this is more about that than the weight. Just don't know what to do with myself, or anything lately.
Everything's gone wrong at once :(

It sounds like you are going through an incredibly tough time at the moment with stresses on all sides! Congratulations on the weight loss. Cut yourself some slack, you've done amazingly, and comfort eating often helps when you're going through a difficult time. I would say maybe try and just have healthy things in at home to reduce the chances of eating junk? Just so you feel better in yourself.

I hope things improve, you sound like you're doing great.

Ps - I also find exercise lifts my mood so if you have time maybe a walk or a run? Helps clear the mind a bit as well

Thank you! I think I just let everything build up and make it worse in my head. I think "I've gained a few pounds, I'm not as light as I was before so not point eating like I'm on a good streak, I'm already putting on weight so why not eat the chocolate" and make it sooo much worse for myself. I think a walk tomorrow will do me good, give me some time to clear my head/distract me too!
