In Need of a Group Hug

Lord give me strength  My dad has come for an extended visit and he is a lousy house guest.   Please help me to be strong, to resist Overly Emotional Eating.  Just need a little support to get me though the next week!  Last time he was here (for 2 weeks) I ate junk, felt junky and was a complete beast!

HELP!!!!

Hugs to you!

I don't know exactly what makes your dad a lousy house guest, but my parents can get on my last nerve too.  And make me feel bad about myself.  And make me remember every last bad thing that they did to me (they were actually decent parents growing up).  And show me just how wierd they have grown.

If things get hard, lock yourself in the bathroom and take a sudsy bath with a good book.  Or go for a walk.  Don't give him the power to make you eat badly!

Thanks...I just need more daily affirmation than my hubbie can give out when my dad is here.   He too has grown SO ODD! 

I went to the library so I am armed with a good book and the house is snack free so I should be okay, just needed some strength!

OHhh I send a hug your way also!

Keep smiling "even if you don't agree with him" and keep eating healthy. like the above post suggested, go for a nice walk or take a long bath....this too shall pass :-)

Parents! ya my mom is hard to understand sometime...too and is ALWAYS on my case when I turn down some of her not so healthy food...o well I am the one who has to look at my self in the mirror and be happy with what I see and how I feel not her ( I do love her) so I keep smiling and go on with my plan.

Good luck and remember we are here for ya!!!!
