Good Things About My Bad Day

[Guest guest]

1. That I have a place where I can turn to people instead of food when I hurt.

Thank you for your insightful replies. I love the analogy to wild horses coming

at me.

2. I did not eat over it! I had just enough of a nourishing dinner. I sat with

the feelings, and didn't give up and eat them away. That feels like progress.

PS. " Meat market " was probably a poor choice of words. We were going to go to a

club where boomers dance. The people are supposed to be good people, but any

place like that has it's share of people just looking for a pick-up, which is

definitely not my ball game. When you get divorced at 50, either you learn to go

out again or you sit home alone for the rest of your life.

Your PS comment resonated with me.

I was widowed at 39 (he was 39, too) and I did not learn to go out again; I

will be 60 in June. I built a wall around me, mostly with food. The

wall has gradually been coming down and I can say I’m fairly happy.

I do have five dogs, my idea of companionship.
