Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Oh :-( {{{hugs}}} What's your favourite low carb treat? Smoked salmon? Brie? Lobster? When I'm feeling like food is the answer, I try and find something absolutely wicked that's still low carb. That way I can feel like I'm pampering myself and stick to plan.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 , I am so sorry that you have to put your beloved pet to sleep. I have three cats and they are so precious to me because they are my substitute children. I couldn't love them more and will be devastated when that time comes for me, so I really feel for you. As an ultimate comfort food eater, I can tell you that the temporary pleasure of eating something off plan does not in any way alleviate the true pain or stress that caused you to eat the item. Try to find a good low carb substitute, but if you do indulge (and no, I am not giving you permission to do so) do not beat yourself up for that too. You have enough other stuff on your mind.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 , I'm so sorry to hear of your loss . Losing a pet is never easy, I still miss my dog of 15 years and it's been 6 years now. But like you, I knew it wasn't fair to keep him alive for *my* sake when he was suffering. It's the one decent thing we can give these precious furkids who have spent their lives giving to us. As I always tell pet owners when I have to put their beloved pets to sleep... they should find some comfort in the fact that while *they* feel terrible now, their pet feels no more pain. I think knowing a loved one (human or not) is suffering is probably the worst feeling possible and it's nice to be able to stop/prevent the suffering. Anyways, hope you can go home to bed, sleeping helps. Love, Vered > Today is a REALLY bad day for me.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 : I am soooo sorry that your baby has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, but I know that when your time comes, she will be waiting for you, tail wagging and kisses to spare. I am crying with you and I'll pray that you can cope with your loss in a constructive way. I too am an emotional eater and I have not been doing well since my ex was discovered to have cancer. He passed away the night before we left for Minnesota and as my mom had to be beack by a certain date for a Dr. appt, we could not attend the funeral. Fortunatly we had said our goodbyes the day before and had made our peace with each other. But losingf someone we love is never easy. Just do the best you can and know that we are all here for you and understand your pain and your need to cope, no matter how you do it. God bless, Nan (In COOL, and Green S.E. Minnesota until Oct.)

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 , I'm so sorry about your dog. Our male Shih Tzu, Buddy, is 14 years old, and I already dread the day that I know will be here before you know it, when we have to make that same decision about him. Dogs teach us a lot about how to love other people, don't they? Terry168/158.25/156 (minigoal)/ ?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Nan, I'm so glad you got to have a chance to visit with your ex before he died and put things in order. I'm sure it meant a lot to him too. I'm sure that even with all the water under the bridge between the two of you, it was still hard for you. I'm sorry! xoxox! Terry168/158.25/156 (minigoal)/ ?
