Rough day but going to stay on track

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

So I let my frustrations get the better of me for a few minutes in a drive thru line today...and my frustrations only increased because instead of the healthier sandwich that I picked (to balance out the fries and small shake I was craving) they gave me a BLT. Ugh. The good news is that I am still within my caloric range for today and am planning on a light dinner tonight before going to bed.

I'm planning this lighter meal for a few reasons:
- I passed out last night...hard. I slept too long and too hard to the point that I felt totally out of it this morning. I think it might be because I ate a little more than usual last night and threw myself off.
- I'm still not feeling better and I need to drink warm liquids and drinking water to get better. I've got some soup and tea calling my name.
- I want to stay close to my calorie / carb / fat range (I'm still low on protein today) and I know a lighter dinner will help with that.

What do you do when emotions start to get the better of you? More importantly - how do you move past a bad meal (like the lunch I had...) and stay positive?

    Thanks Lizzy! I do have a friend at work who is very good about saying "It's time to go for a walk" when either of us gets too stressed out. I'm not terrible about my emotional eating but it does get the better of me! Here's to doing better today!

    I am not going to lie! It is not easy. I am a huge emotional eater and I am a sugar addict! NOT a good combo! I am, however, pretty good at moving on after I make those bad decisions. I just tell myself that it will NOT stop me from reaching my goal. I WILL do better. I have tried several things instead of eating: I journal, I drink a huge glass of water. I take a walk. It doesn't always work but you know I am getting better. instead of once a day it is more like once a week! I still have a major problem with the attitude of "I am a grown women If I want this cupcake I will eat it!" Actually I call that my inner 5 year old!
Good luck and remember... emoticon
