Confessions of a Bulk Eater

A friend of mine that I work with was laid off today. I am upset and bitter and angry. A bad combination. I need to stay strong and stick to food plan. I know someone will want to get out of here for lunch… I have to say I do too, but I need to stay strong. Or at least make healthy choices if we do go somewhere.

Okay, so it didn’t turn out as bad as it could have foodwise. Yes, I ate things I shouldn’t, but I could have(have done in the past) a lot worse after news like I recieved this morning.

Breakfast: shredded wheat, banana, fat free milk, splenda

Lunch: salad- lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, salsa, cilantro; ate a few bbq chips; cherries

Snack - slice of apple pie from BK

Dinner - met a friend at Sweet Tomatoes. Salad, bread, baked potato soup, one cookie. I only had 3 pieces of bread which is better than I normally do. I did have some salads with cream dressing, but I did not get ice cream or brownies or any other sort of desserts that I usually do. I didn’t walk out of there feeling like a stuffed pig either.

For the day that I had, I feel that my eating was fine. It’s definitely better than it has been in the past when I get bad news or stress. Not to mention the fact that I think I am getting PMS and that always leads to MASSIVE eating. I would like to break that cycle someday.

I guess I’m just relieved to have a job still. I think this is like the 4th or 5th round of layoffs that we’ve had in my company. This time it totally blind sided us and I can’t believe that my friend was one of the ones let go. Inconcievable.
