Fight of my life

I did the whole emotional eating thing this afternoon at lunch.  It could have been worse but really it only made me feel miserable.  I don’t know why I do that. 

I found that when I’m in my worry wort phase I’ll either eat nothing or everything.  Lunch was a little bit of both.  At first I couldn’t eat - then somewhere along way I stopped listening and started eating.  I ate the entire Chicken Mexi-Caesar salad and half the bowl of chips & salsa.  Physically I’ve felt ill all afternoon.  I should have only eaten half of it and stopped but no… I kept going mindlessly.

I’m not too concerned about it, as I’ll get 9+ AP’s today between my run this morning and soccer game(s) tonight.  It’s just bad that I fall into this old mindless eating habit and I need to learn to cope with things a little more effectively. 

Speaking of effective and inspirational!  Check out Roni’s new Photo Progress page http://weightwatchen.com/2007/01/progression-photos.html.  She looks fantastic!  I needed some extra motivation and seeing her pictures totally did the trick!  I’m moving out of the mindless eating phase and back into my healthy phase.  Eating will not solve my problems!  Better to face my monster eye to eye and buck up!  Thanks Roni for the motivation, the community, and congratulations on the magazine opportunity!  You’re very photogenic, definitely cover page material!  Way to go!

    Good for you for blogging and turning things around. It sounds like you’re being really honest with yourself about the emotional eating and you’re taking steps to move on. And the AP’s sure help. Hang in there!

    Well, it was only one lunch. =) And you recognize the problem!!! ANDDDD admit it. That’s a huge step to fixing it. I had an emotional binge for about three days this week. The worst of all was last night. It wasn’t just absent minded eating. I couldn’t satisfy myself. My body’s resisting the weight loss, it thinks I’m doing something horrible to it. I’ve only lost 13 lbs dammit! Last night I couldn’t talk myself out of eating. I just ate till I couldnt swallow anymore. I’ve been sick all day today x.o Which I knew was going to happen last night before I even got too far. Anyway… Glad to see I’m not the only one with emotion-based eating problems. I can look and see what others do for themselves… maybe I can get some inspiration from some of you =)

    Best Wishes
