Emotional rollercoasters are not invitations to eat like you are at a theme park.
I'm going through some horrible emotional pathways right now which make my road to weight loss an even harder journey. I am an emotional eater. Last night I ordered pizza then proceeded to eat 5 slices. 25 points down the drain. They were not even worth the 25 points. I felt like crap the whole night and knew I was eating it to stuff my feelings.I woke up this morning knowing I was not going to beat myself up for it. I accounted it and moved on. Someone from the ww boards told me that and I find it such to be almost the most valuable advice I have received to date.
I need to find myself another outlet for my emotional eating. I'd love to be thin enough to just run but that isnt on the table yet and well, I'd love to go even for a walk alone but I am a stay at home Mom and alone time is hard to come by. Today I slipped on my mp3 player and danced in my chair and sang. Sounds silly but it worked. Now I need to learn to try something harder next time. Maybe my 1 mile dance video (which I love btw)
I keep trying to tell myself that a healthy,skinny me will still have emotional days and have to go through hard times and its the choices I make now that will forever shape the future me. I want a healthy me for my girls, so I can live a long time with my husband, so that I can do things with my girls I can't do now.
My blog buddy and I are alike in so many ways, its what makes me feel so close to her. Her and I are on a long road trip but we will make it out stronger and healthier. And in the end we will both sit back and be glad we took this journey.
