Question

Ok.  Anyone else really struggling tonight?Ok. Anyone else really struggling tonight? During this quarantine, I have realized more than ever that I am a crazy stress eater! I am so stressed right now and want to comfort myself with food. Unhealthy NON protocol food. I had to go up to my bedroom already on a Friday night at 8 pm cuz I do not trust myself on the same floor level as the food. How scary and sad is that?!? Feeling sorry for myself and depressed. Need a swift kick in the butt. I had to go off the diet a few years ago because I could not shake strep and pneumonia so I am really worried about getting this virus with my bad asthma. To add to the stress: the weather outside was awful today. It rained all day and was windy and cold. Started snowing around 4:30. I keep thinking, “The sun’ll come out tomorrow”.  hoping and praying. We’ve got this peeps! Stay strong! ❤️

@eloquent16 no he was 92, he fell and broke his femur, had surgery and was recuperating at Rehabilitation Center. He had severe Dementia. He stopped breathing and was gone. They said complications of the fall, broken femur and dementia. I didn’t get to see him through all of this because of the Coronavirus Quarantine. I feel so bad for him. We were very close. ❤️❤️

Answer 10

I realize that it’s tough during this time for all of us boredom and/or stress eaters! . I celebrated by 50th during this mess, with a full cheat weak! (I’m not advising this to everyone, so no need to give me a hard time! ) . But I needed and wanted it after we had to cancel a long awaited party and cruise with family and friends!  . I don’t have a problem getting back on the program, so this works for me. I do know that being home bound is definitely hard for me (and I’m still working 3 days a week! ) . What I find helps me, is giving my self some flexibility. Add a 4th packet, add a little protein to fill you up or if you need something “extra” make a keto approved snack! I know, it’s NOT protocol, but it won’t take you out of ketosis or completely ruin what you’ve accomplished!  

Answer 11

❤️ I feel the very same Pam, hang in there girlfriend! This to shall pass.  

Answer 12

Same boat!
