Emotional eating

Well the bf and I had a bit of a disagreement last nite. I have to admit, this relationship stuff is not all a bowl of cherries. But this is a good time to assert my new behavior, I will not go off my program just because I’m down. I know by experience that that won’t make me feel any better, and will in fact make things worse.  Sorry to vent this here, but I’m still pretty upset about it. Time to focus way more on me and what I have to do for myself, and let him find his own way. I have come too far to let this stop me.
Well sorry to be such a sad puss, but I thought it would help to get it out, I’m sure you all know about emotional eating, it is a trap I have fallen into many times. And i refuse to do it this time.
Ok, enough of the sad stuff I took alot of you’s advice and had a small “cheat” meal last nite: I was at church, and when it was over, the pastor said, “there are chili dogs and chips outside for everyone”, I at first thought, was gonna just leave but then I thought, my caloreis are low today, and I remembered about the “cheat” so I had one chili dog, a few tortilla chips with 2 bites of spinach dip, and one Kit Kat mini! Man, I felt like I was livin’! LOL It was great, and I didn’t evne go up an ounce! Plus, I tokk a long half hour walk when I got home! So I faced my fear of the “cheat” and emerged unscathed!!! Yay!!!
Well off to read more blogs, you all have a great day!!!

    Way to go Kama!  I love the fact that you still took a walk.  You are not only using your legs to lose weight, but you are using your head.  Way to go.  Go Red!

    Aw man, I’m sorry you’re having relationship woes.  (((hugs)))  Men.  Can’t live with ‘em, can’t shoot ‘em. 

    Way to go on keeping the “cheat” in check!  Everything in moderation, right?  And yeah, walking afterwards is taking care of you so that you don’t fall too far down the slippery slope.  Yea Kama!

    Men will come and go, hips will stay forever! You did a great job of a little cheat and some exercise and keeping things in perspective. I am taking notes for my next emotional situation!

    Go fellow HOTTIE!!!

    Sorry to hear of your relationship woes.  Writing always helps me when I’m upset.  I start out all emotional…venting what’s happened and how I feel….then my writing will move into the facts and bring me out with a resolution.  I think it must be better than a therapist.    Since I am totally honest with myself and don’t have to hold back.  Yeah…I’ve been an emotional eater too.  We’ll give it up together, okay?  Wishing you the best.  And congrats on your “cheat”…I like how you said you were “living it up.”  Hang in there, sister.

    You make me want to go and get some chipsOnly kidding.Listen my son’s father a real a–!He hurt me in so many ways.If I was beat up at least that would have been better to heal than the emotiona abuse I got from him.Any way that is over with and women take a long time to heal.Mine was 7 years.The whole time every fight with him or any thing he said that hurt me would make me eat!I stopped the abuse of my body.I let go of the hate.I can’t make people think like me or see what they are doing to me.Some times I get really tired of telling him or who ever!”HEY THAT HURTS”!You have to think of your self.Take care of your self.You are all you got.We think these people can come in to our lives and make things perfect for us.That is not life.I think I was bought up on to many Fairy tales.I am still waiting for my Knight in shining armor!I know now that I put myself in this situation and only I can save me.We all as women get little warnings when something just isn’t right.We never pay attention to that because we deep down don’t want to be alone.So we think we can fix things and make it better.We just can’t!I emotional ate away all the pain that that relationship has caused me.I think to I also did not want to meet another man .Who can hurt me again.What a better way to keep people away than hate yourself and hide behind alot of weight.I am changing that also I am paying attention to my mood trigers that send me to eat.I don’t smoke.So I have to find other ways to deal with the anger,pain,hurt that I am feeling.You are not alone with this and if you need some one to talk to just write me.
