Support During Very Trying Time

I just found out today that my uncle is undergoing surgery for an agressive form of cancer on his spine.  Now I'm am the opposite of an emotional eater.  When I get upset I stop eating all together and I know that's not good for me one) because I need to eat and two) when I finally do start to eat I end up binge eating because I am so hungry.

I guess I just wanted to ask for advice on how to deal with a situtation like this and also to keep me and my uncle in your thoughts and prayers as well.  Thank you.

I dont have any earth shattering-ly wonderful or insightful advise but I will pray for you both.

My prayers are with you and your uncle; I'm sorry that you're going through this difficult time, especially while you're trying to lose weight.  My "advice" to you, although it's probably not very good, try to force down some healthy food--fruits & veggies, berries are delicious this season, so that your risk of binging isn't as great.  Don't keep too many treats around either so that if/when you binge you don't binge on sugary or fatty foods...I wish that I could have more helpful advice...

Try praying for help when you feel like you want to binge on crappy food, or whenever you need help with dieting...or anything...it's ok to pray for yourself you know, i feel like some people don't feel comfortable with it, like it's selfish, especially when others around you are in need, but God takes care of everyone, so ask for His help!
