Today I found out my boyfriend of 3 years, (technically my fiance, haha but thats another story), is going to Afghanistan in a year and a half. It's so weird because I typically would have shoved my face with comfort food like big cheeseburgers and fries and its so hard not to. I think I'm underprepared in the way I have no idea how to deal with these kind of feelings. I spent a good part of the day crying, and though his leaving is far off and who really knows what the situation with the war will be like in a year or so, its still the point that my life will change. My best friend will be gone for a year and I'm not sure how to handle it. I wanted to cheat so badly, but this is my second time on Nutrisystem so I'm more determined and more aware that if I let myself cheat even once, its over for me. One cheat, leads to more for me, so its best I don't cheat at all. Does anyone have any tips as to how to deal with these cravings and urges when emotional events happen in our lives? Whenever I was really upset, I use to just fill myself with junk food. Anything I could find. So to now fill myself with salad it totally sucks, but Im not giving up. I need this for my health. Even my boyfriend who never passes any opinion on my very obvious weight gain, (He's about 50 pounds skinnier then me. ughh) said he just wants me to be healthy, and I feel like more then ever I want to show him my weight loss before he leaves. Thanks <3 Britt.
