[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2159474, member: 345386"] [USER=177800]@Mrsmac247[/USER] - getting back on the wagon can definitely be harder than the first time around, but the great news is you have form for this. You have done I before. Having a really tough period in our lives can lead to erratic, uncharacteristic behaviour, sometimes is the person feels their life is no longer in their control (say, looking after others, dealing wit his their affairs, often ahead of our own, as examples, they take control of one of the fundamental things - their eating. Some folks develop eating disorders at times like this, and others just change a lot of what they eat and how they deal with food. My suggestion to you would echo others, to take one day at a time, just concentrating on the next meal. You know the old adage: how do you eat an elephant? Answer: one bite at a time. It's tough. Don't punish yourself, particularly for caring for others ahead of your own wellbeing, but us being well ourselves gives us the energy to invest in others. You can't care for others if you're not caring for yourself. Good luck with it all, and maybe join in some of the threads on here. For ideas, the What have you eaten today? Thread in the LC sub-forum has some great, inventive ideas for mixing up the food options. [/QUOTE]
