I tend to sort of nibble mindlessly when a mood hits. Now I'm trying to address the actual emotions and deal with them. Makes me not very nice sometimes I think. But it's worth it to take good care of ourselves. The more we pay attention the more natural it will become right? I hope so anyway.
Hi, Gogirl.
I've been aware of why I binge or eat mindlessly for a long time, yet I'll still do it. And it's not like I'll realize it AFTER I'm done eating. I deliberately say in my mind that I'm ticked off and I WILL eat something. LOL Crazy, I know.
In any event, I did NOT give in last night. I abstained, and I'm so glad I did. I just read a little bit, then got really tired and fell asleep. Today is a new day. (with new stresses. hahaha)
Thanks for all the support, ladies. This won't be the last time I'll need it, I'm quite sure.
