Our brains have a lot to answer for. It's also hard to distract ourselves if we are already busy being sad. I think it's worse when you have small children because you can't just take yourself off for a long walk in the rain (that's what I used to do when I felt sad). Try and think of ways to distract yourself - coming on here is always good for that. Do not give in to temptation. That will only make you feel worse. Take care xI feel sad about something n I'm sat here actually fighting myself to not eat. How can I cry n something pings in my head going eat eat eat I don't get it arghhhhhhhhh stupid brain
from fat to skinny jeans only 48lb to go

You should use flexible syns tonight poppy. Set yourself a limit and stick to it and have a super good day tomorrow, straight back to it an staying within the limit you set you'll feel totally in control!
Those pics are amazing, you are doing so well. This group is so supportive it really is a huge boost and help!![]()
That's a comforting thought. I'm not sure what triggers your sadness, but time is a great healer and I do agree that not giving in to things can make you stronger. Just remember to seek help if you need to because sometimes we all next a bit of extra support.I'm going Down route of each time I don't give in it stops it happening a little bit until eventually it never happens

I definitely think so. I was a single mum (still single children now grown up). The dad did spend time with them but never at times when he could look after them overnight. Never for long enough for me to get a break. At the beginning I was 400 plus miles away from family, halfway through a university degree and thought my world would end. It does get easier over time, but that feeling of having children who only have you to depend on is a biggy and that doesn't really end (even when apparently they're adults). If there is help available from friends and family take it, but believe that you will get to the end of your child's childhood with a loving and well adjusted young man for a son - because he has you for a Mum. How could he fail?
You will make a wonderful mother - just like our wfsj, and when you are your child will have a gorgeous, fit, healthy and slim Mum.Listen to all you wonder mothers, you should be so proud!! Can't wait till I'm a mother!
I'm out in the pub with my friend having a few vodka diet cokes.staying very good

Yep - you sound like me when the kids were wee. Always worried about money and planning for a nuclear holocaust. Though my friend does that and she has a husband with a very secure and well paying job.
You can never really leave your past behind, but your past has made you the person you are. You might wish you could rewrite history and not have had to be so worried about your parents, when they should have been worried about you, but would you really want to change you? Nurture yourself as much as you can for now and soon your wee one will get up a wee bit - then you will be able to make time to be young and carefree, at least for short periods of time.
