It's Official... I'm an emotional eater. I confirmed it today. I've been stressed and a little depressed the last couple of day... yesterday evening I ate and ate... things I knew I didn't have points for... and top it with a slice of German Chocolate Cake with a cherry on top... all bad! I skipped the gym... all bad!
Today wasn't any better... I started off my morning with a Smart Ones English Muffin... but then went ahead and had a liquor store chocolate pie and Sour Skittles... so not worth it. I decided it was going to be zero point foods for the rest of the day... I was doing good until I got stressed again, went upstairs to the pot luck we were having and fixed myself a plate...
I didn't get crazy, but didn't I say earlier it was zero point foods for the rest of the day?
In the middle of smashing my face into my plate trying to get it all in my mouth at once I realized what I was doing.
I wasn't even hungry... something clicked and I realized I was stressed, depressed... and stuffing my face.. BINGO - EMOTIONAL EATING.
I stopped myself and immediately went to track it all online...
I threw the rest of the food away, stopped the mindless eating and afterwork hit the gym... and according to my activelink I earned 13 points today! Good cuz I needed them...
Tomorrow is a new day, new set of points... but this week unfortunately for us trying to control our intake... there is a 2nd pot luck. Wish me luck... I'm going to need it!

Soooooo it has been a few days. Feeling better? Thrown away all those things that are triggering you?
I've been doing pretty good weight wise... but still stressed but I do have better control of my trigger foods... how are you?
