Today is one of those days where everything is a challenge.
I thought I really had a grasp on my ‘emotional’ eating habits. Boy, was I wrong!
Today is full of emotions, and I’m not coping well. I’m frazzled, angry, exhausted, and pretty much everything else you can think of. All I want to do is eat! I tried to go walk around the building a few times to get away from my desk, but my knee is hurting so badly I can barely walk. I've tried deep breathing, and my thoughts keep coming back to all of the stressful stuff.
I had to cancel my Physical Therapy for today since I have no car, and Hubby can’t get me there in time. Doesn't thrill me, given that my knee is hurting.
I already had my breakfast, and then had a nice hot donut that a co-worker brought. (I haven't had a donut in i-don't-know-how-many months!). I'm thinking about popcorn, candy bars, and anything else I can get my hands on.
It’s so frustrating that I “know” the things I’m supposed to do to avoid emotional eating, but every urge and thought is 180 degrees from where it should be.
And it’s not even 10 AM.
I want to go back to bed. Can you get a Mulligan on an entire day? Maybe a Rewind button?
No?
Le sigh.
Well, blogging about it is a positive step!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you're identifying the urges as emotional and taking so many positive steps. Hope the day gets better and it gets easier to cope!
Emotional eating is a tough one ! But take a deep breath, and try not to beat yourself up over the slip ups......it happens ! The most important thing is that your aware of what your doing, and that is definately progress in itself !
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to resist the temptations when your resolve is against the ropes. But Crabby was right, it's progress that you're aware of it and writing it out. Hope tomorrow's a better day.
