'Danger Point' - If Help Needed, Post Here!

Could've not said it better Renata!

This too shall pass Lorchen. (That's my mantra lately) Just deal with it the best you can and focus on the good people and things. That was a great idea to set up this thread. It sure will help a lot

Sorry I missed you, not that it is something we watch very much - more a case of catching it by accident...
Glad the pair of you had a good time

I never thought I was an "emotional eater" until I read the workbook "Do you use food to cope?" (I just checked. Looks like its still available on kindle for $3.99) When I worked through that book, it helped me to identify that I ate out of anxiety, and it even helped me to identify the original time/events/person in my childhood from which that anxiety sprang. Then it seemed, once I identified that, it lost its power somewhat. I don't seem to have the urge to automatically eat something sweet when something makes me anxious.

But I think that Lorchen's original post has the best advice in it. Just don't keep that stuff in the house. There are still foods that I won't keep in my house (I'm looking at you, chocolate chip cookies.) If I really want one, I will go and buy ONE.

Well done lorchen. And always keep 'your boy' in mind, he and the other kids you teach and mentor are the reason you go to that school every day, they are the important ones. And YOU!
