So yesterday afternoon, I got an upsetting email from my son's step-mom. Definitley not the answer to emotional upset but I sought solace in unhealthy eating last night. It was not a full on binge, I didn't go waaaay over in calories but ate nothing but chemicals, sugar, processed, refined empty calories.

I had a hostess cupcake, Two Chips Ahoy cookies, Pasta with creamy Alfredo sauce and two big handfuls of Cheddar Sour Cream Ruffle's chips. Honestly, my first thought was a beer would be nice but seeing that there was none in the fridge I headed for the bf's junk. Beer isn't the answer either but if there had been beer in the fridge, I probably wouldn't have eaten all the junk. I guess it is 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other: unhealthy is unhealthy.

As I was driving in to work today, I realized that I felt almost hungover; lethargic and fuzzy headed. When I realize that my mental status is off I do a quick self check and asked myself, "Why am I feeling like this?" I didn't at first put together that I had only eating empty calories, nothing with much nutritional value in over 16 hours. Then it hit me! Duh!

I just can't eat like that anymore and feel well. It is sad to think of the years I spent in that fog due to the unhealthy crap I was putting in it!

Anyone else find themselves feel very out of sorts when the overdo the junk?

Yep, I understand. Two weeks ago I went a little crazy, we will call it graduation madness, and ate everything in sight. I paid for it big time. Not only was the food not as good as I remembered, I had physical side effects that were not pleasant. I realize now that I was doing that to my body for years before I wised up.

The only thing you can do is learn from it and keep it from happening again. Good Luck!
