Let other people get me upset today at group have eaten 6 milkyway bars now feel so ashamed

You need to calm down & put the halloween candy out of reach & out of mind. Try not to feel ashamed, & put someone else in charge of the candy.

Not to make light of your situation, but you ate the candy bars that everyone is trying to make me eat. I have the problem that food makes me feel sick to eat & especially chocolate. Guess if we merged our problems, then neither of us would be feeling bad.

Try to forget about those people who upset you. They only hurt you & didn't help you like they should in a group. I might question the value of the group if this is not a one time situation. Maybe there is another group that would be more supportive for you?

Hope you feel better soon.

I sure do understand how you feel. I made cookies a couple of nights ago and really plowed into them. Cooked and uncooked. I felt horrible too. I really need to lose weight. But, it's over, time to move on and not do that again. But most of all, don't beat yourself up, it's not like you're a bad person, you're just not perfect. Imagine that...I just realized that I'm not perfect either. These boards are great..Take it easy and let it go...Susan

It's kind of hard to think of what to say because I do the opposite. But really, its the same thing in the end, right??

I understand and appreciate that you say your in charge of this support group. BUT, you are human as well. Things will bother you and you will fall at times. Its good to hear that you had told these others to start supporting you for a while and stop being so cruel. I think that was the best thing for you.

And the chocolate bars, well sometimes these things are a temperary fix, to make us feel better. "sheet happens". I am not down-playing whatsoever, trust me. Thats a tough thing. But maybe it was a good learning experience for you, think of something to do next time.

Glad you have a sighhhhhhhh of relief. lolol.
May I ask, not sure, what type of group you run??? I found this interesting. Is this the type of career then that you are in??? Just wanted to say; cool. (and by the way, my t has a draw full of mini chocolate bars, really. lolol. She is too funny, loves that stuff.)

Justy I run a consumer owned and operated support group/work center, we incorporated in 2001 and opened our doors for our peers so they come here to work on items like grapevine baskets, soap, bake breads and they sell all these to the community, showing the community that we can be an asset to them, not a burden
Most of the time I love my volunteer job but when it feels like they are taking advantage I feel chrushed.

Angie:

You poor darling. You had every right to feel the way you did. I'm just sorry you had to feel it! That sounds like a wonderful thing you're doing. It's hard when others are cruel, either intentionally or unintentionally but you are an extremely warm and giving person and so it's hard to believe someone would hurt you like that.

Dont' beat yourself up about the chocolate. It happens. I do it too. So you're not alone and things will get better. It just takes time.

Take Care and thinking of you,
Kimberly.

WOW, how amazing. That sounds like a very rewarding job. And I can see how upset you would get when someone takes advantage of these souls.

My mom does kind of the same thing. She has been working on and off with her illness. She will be at the cancer clinic next week. She loves this type of work, its given her something that she can say has truly helped others and made a difference.

I also believe, these people with struggles, are an absolute assest. I admire you for sticking with this. Good for you.

I am sorry to hear that others treat people like this, its sooo wrong. But you strongly believe in these people, thats what counts. Is it too that you are being taken advantage of??? I hope I got this straight....lolol. (I only a few hours sleep).

So how is it going with this now. Sorry for all the questions, I find it interesting. Not the yucky part, but the difference that it sounds like you make. Could you tell me more about this???

Thanks dear,

Justy
