I am angry, pissed, fed up and damn mad. I may blog about why later. But the good thing is that when I am angry - I realize I turn to food to make me feel better. With that in mind and trying to have an I don’t give a damn attitude, I reached in the freezer and made some conscience decisions. I knew I was going to eat, there was no way around it. So eat I did. I ate a few crumbs - literally that’s all there was- of corn chips then threw them away. I grabbed a Boca burger patty and popped it in the microwave. I put lots of mustard (I don’t like mayo) and lettuce, onions, and tomoatos on a bun (it was white - I’ll need to get whole wheat but I am not going to beat myself up over that) and plopped my fake patty on top. Yummy - and it tasted like cheating. I ate a bunch of radishes - lots of good crunch - I may go for seconds with them. I also sliced and ate a tomato on the side. I am proud of myself that I could handle this situation with some pretty decent food choices. Thank you Boca for being there. I am still angry but I don’t feel guilty. And I won’t hate myself in the morning. Boy, it’s been a long time since I said that.

Well done on not giving in to anger-eating! It is such a big step to realize our behaviours so that we can modify them.

I hope whatever is bothering you doesn’t seem to be such a big deal come morning. Good for you for making good food choices!

Good for you for - even with being so angry - stopping to think about it and reconstruct the outcome. That’s fantastic and I think you should pat yourself on the back.

Good for you! I am an emotional eater too, I usually eat when I am sad or upset.
I don’t know if a fake burger would have cut it with me, I need gooey and comforting and disgusting when I am upset, so good for you excellant food choices.
I miss radishes so much. We get really yucky ones here and they are about a zillion dollars for 4!
I tried to grow them but no dice.
Hope what ever has you pissed off is done with tomorrow.

Good Morning/Afternoon Bobbie ~
First let me say Congrats! for making good chooses when you where upset - that’s a great step in the right direction! Life happens - it sucks sometimes and makes us anger or sad or in my case a basket-case but if we can eat to comfort ourselves in healthy ways we don’t have to ‘hate’ ourselves as well as experience the emotion that drove us to the frig in the first place!
I learned on my journey that the more I love myself the better the chooses I make and beating myself up for making a bad choose now and than only sets me back instead of moving me forward. You are on the right path - keep up the good work!
Now regarding your posting to my blog - thanks
Weigh in went well [that surprised me as I thought my period was right around the corner so I had anticipated a gain again] Lost 1.6 and even earned a 5 pounds lost star for my WW bookmark! As of last night I am 3 pounds from goal - YA!
As for your thoughts of joining WW’s - if you feel you need the accountability factor and record keeping I think WW’s would be great. I don’t know if you know this but they do offer a Core Program that allows you to eat certain foods without tracking points or calories - maybe its something you would be interested in. I know for me I don’t need the meetings for the support or the record keeping but for the lifetime status and maintenance part of it. The one thing I will say if you decide to join is find a leader you can talk to - it really helps to have someone that has been there to talk things over with in a honest comforting way. Good luck with your decision - please keep me informed!
Have a great afternoon
Jo
