Why does an emotional upset (anger) make me want to eat?

Friday, June 04, 2010

Gack! I have to stop. Today has been a frustrating day. I really like what I do, but I often represent my Company in hearings. Several weeks ago I represented us when we discharged a freaking stupid sexual harrasser. Well, the complaining witness failed to show up so I had to put on my defense without her. To sum it up, we lost. Now my boss is telling me that I did my best (I did) and not to dwell (sorry, can't help it....that's the way I roll).

So as I sit here angry (cuz he was a freaking loserwho took advantage of his position) that he won and I lost, I can feel my emotions rolling under the surface. And I want to eat. Crap, that is. Isn't that weird?

I had my grilled chicken and rice and orange and will have a tomato,,,,but I was really wanting crap to make me feel better. How does that work? I don't need junk food to satisfy my emotions.

Anyways I got to wondering why an emotional upset makes me want to eat. i don't get the correalation? Do you?
