Emotional!

[MrsD13]

I'm approaching week 2 of SS (1st weigh in tomorrow). I haven't had any headaches and not really hungry (although could eat out of habit). The worst bit thou is myemotions! I could cry at a drop of a hat and feeling very sorry for myself....other times feeling happy and focused.
Please tell me I am not alone feeling like this?!

Not at all! I've used food as an emotion suppressant for a long time, take away that anaesthetic and I suddenly start feeling things far more strongly. I've been crying as adverts and all sorts!

Thanks for that Funnyfarm. I've been crying at adverts too!! I just hope it gets easier/feels more normal? Xxx

The way I'm looking at it is, it's a good way of me learning to process emotions without eating, so when I am eating again I can keep it all in proportion. Hopefully!

Me too, MrsD. Soooo emotional. It comes and goes but I definitely us food as an anaesthetic. Interesting, isn't it? When you start noticing the connection between mood and food?
