Life is so unpredictable. Emotions are up and down. I feel tempted to stick my foot out and ask the world to stop turning for a minute. Sounds rather dramatic doesn't it? To tell you the truth...it doesn't feel dramatic enough. I have been wanting to loose weight. But here is what happens, Open fridge, see a pop, hmmm...nope, I'm not having it. close the fridge. Few minutes later, open the cupboard, I'm hungry... see the chips, nope I'm not having any. Close the door. How many times do I go through this every day?? Too many to count. Do you do it? If only I could get some weight loss each time I say "NO" to something I would be in great shape.
I am looking for some suggestions here. I know I am an emotional eater. How many of you are too??
Something upsets you and you go for the ice cream, chocolate, Super sized McB, a beer?? If I could get everyone to talk about it, maybe we could figure it out. Maybe we could stop the habit? What do you think? Too tired to commit, yeah, me too. Too lazy to change, yeah, me too. But if there is an expert out there, maybe they wouldn't mind sharing. I would post it...not to lazy for that.
Here is the scoop, I stopped at the donut shop and I said to myself if there is a parking place right in front I will know it was meant to be. So I drove around the parking lot. Sure enough about the 8th time around ,there it was. Right in front. It was meant to be :-}

My Take on Emotional Eating
ReplyDeleteHello All…
This post is in response to my friend Sandy Bullard of Diamond Health Network who is struggling with her weight and has realized she is an emotional eater. She posted a message in her own blog but, my answer is so long, I decided I need to write my answer to her questions regarding how I learned to get over it in my own blog post.
