Progress I am happy to report that I've done well this week. It's been refreshing to feel in control of things. I am not letting my guard down, though. I know I am just one snack cake away from a train derailment, and I am not going to go there without a fight! |

Good for you.
I got mad at someone Monday who was being very rude to the group of people I was with. I let her vent and then I said" That's a crazy way to talk to people. She was really surprised and, dripping with sarcasm, said "well thank you very much."
I said "you're welcome."
I felt soooooo much better! LOL.
Good for you, that's what I say.
I have been struggling with the emotional eating for a bit now. Sometimes the urge is so strong... good for you for not caving in. I know how hard that can be. And it is nice to feel in control, isn't it? And to know how much you have eaten in a day, and how much more you can have. It takes away all the guess work... Keep up the good work! I am cheering for you.
Good for you! Emotional eating is the toughest habit to break! Way to go!
Wow so proud of you! I like to eat to drown my emotions away but yes, there is the feeling of guilt. You did so well!
I love what you said, "I know I am just one snack cake away from a train derailment, and I am not going to go there without a fight!" That is so true of a lot of us. You are doing so good, and growing stronger in your determination. Keep it up and the world will get to see that beautiful (and hot) Grandmother that you are.
I know what you mean nothing is worst than crying into a pint of Ben&Jerry's it makes you feel so much worse later but in the moment it is hard not feel like you will literally implode from all the drama that you are going through without running to the kitchen in an all out sprint! So Yeah for you! You stood up to your old habit and beat it! Great Job!
I bet that dealing with your emotions in a real tangible way like that was hard... but I'm certain it's more efficient that way. Emotional eating doesn't really get anything out of our system, more so just bottling it up... and we all know what happens when we repress feelings; they're going to explode sooner or later. What you did wasn't only healthier physically but mentally as well. Be proud of yourself!
Great job not giving in to the emotions with food! You are so strong to be able to resist emotional eating. That is my biggest downfall because all it takes is for me to get stressed, upset, or bored and I am raiding the refrigerator so my hat is off to you.
Wow, a family drama and no comfort food - that's a BIG deal! Good for you! It is so easy to rationalize rewarding ourselves with food when we are being attacked by other people. You did awesome!
