(((Biscuits))), it sounds like an especially challenging time for you. Staying on your program/food plans is a real way to support yourself through it.

I wonder what your self-talk is on days like these? Can you become aware of what you're saying to yourself? Give yourself supportive statements; write them down and read often to counteract fearful thoughts/negative self-talk.

That's great you made it to work. Like Gambaru says, take time for yourself when you need it.

Sometimes when it's not possible for me to let my inner child cry "out loud" in a public situation, I make a date with her to listen to her (myself) and support her in a private time or in time with a good friend. Reassure her that she's safe and you're there for her.

Hang in there, Biscuits. You are not alone.
