Sad day tough to stay ontract

Postby big ron » March 2nd, 2007, 4:01 pm

I just got news that my Manager passed away this morning. <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_10.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D36%252F36_1_10/image.gif">This is hard news as I really admired him. I am trying to be compliant but cant promise. Most of the time people dont like thier boss ( I know I am a Manager myself and its nice to be trusted and liked) When you get one you like and trust it is special. Sad Day<img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_38.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D36%252F36_1_38/image.gif">

Ron, my condolences on the death of your friend/manager. It is very hard when we lose someone we admire and care for.

I don't know if this suggestion (or reminder) will help or if it is too late...but this could be an opportunity to break the cycle of eating to soothe your feelings. Perhaps it would be best to get into the shower and have a good old talk with yourself or a good cry if that is how you are feeling. For too long I've handled my emotions by eating. That cycle has to stop if I'm ever going to get to goal and stay there. I need to find a way to release my emotions without it involving food.

If I've misspoke, my apologies....

My best to you.

I am so sorry Ron. I know you are going through a difficult time right now, but you will only feel worse if you go off plan. Stay compliant and you will feel better. Try and keep busy thinking of things you could do for his family or other co-workers in his memory. I just know that going off plan will only make you feel worse. Hang in there! :|

I'm thinking of you, Ron. Be strong, let your feelings out, don't stuff them away with food. It hurts, but it's better in the long run.

Yeah, I agree. And, it's not just better for your physical health, but your mental health, too, if you can start to just feel things like this without stuffing those feelings away with food.

My condolences to you, Ron.

Take care,
Karli

I know you can do it, Ron. We can do anything for three hours. That's all it takes. So sorry for your loss.

Ron, what a great and supportive wife you have! It is so easy to go to our 'friend' food when we are having some emotional upheaval in our lives---but you are on your way to breaking that cycle. Food isn't a friend and it isn't an answer.

My condolences again, on the passing of your co-worker/friend.

Ron, I am sorry for your loss, but your wife is right. Last thing you want is to feel bad for the loss AND for cheating. You will be better off being compliant. My condolences, and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Thanks everyone for the support. This is bad timing as we also had some very bad financial news to try to deal with so its compounded. I am sticking with it. These are times in life that test our resolve Thanks again everyone<img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_32_10.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0>
