Emotional eating

Are you an emotional eater? I am! When I am stressed, I eat. When I am happy, I eat. When I am sad, I eat. You get the picture. This week my family got some news regarding my mom’s health and this has sent me into a tailspin of unhealthy eating. When I get to the point of emotional eating, I don’t reach for the carrot sticks or the bottle of water. I reach for the cheese burger and the sodas. UGH! There went that month of no cheese burgers! I think one of the biggest blessings about this blog is that I am learning things about myself. I big deeper so I can understand why I do things so II can document it here. Now that I have realized that I am such an emotional eater, I hope to be more prepared for it in some way (one can hope anyway!!)

This week may not show very good results on the scale but I will pick myself back up and get back on track with my diet!!

One day at a time...
