Default Controlled the urge to angereat
I'm hoping I'm not the only one who is sometimes so angry they eat.....

Today I had to ring VirginMedia, after I'd written a long letter of complaint to the CEO (botched installation, promised a loyalty package that no longer exists, landline cut without warning, lies given to me when I rang to enquire, had to sacrifice my private mobile number when the landline gave up cos I'm on 24/7 call and they said I couldn't have my number back, although that turned out not to be true...). They asked me to ring today. So I did but I knew it was likely to be a bumpy conversation, and I know too my temptation to punish other people by me eating. Yes, I know that makes no sense.

So instead of phoning after lunch, I decided to phone before. The conversation was very annoying. They accept no responsibility, they will not offer compensation. I am contemplating my next move
but but but but but
I then gave myself permission to dive headfirst into my lunch (and only my lunch, no extras) and eat it angrily and guess what? I ate it tastingly instead, all I could think was, You eat because someone annoys you? That's weird.

So today I'm cured of one thing.

(shhh even though the scale has gone up a pound again. shhhhhh)

Ailidh... Good for you for using a strategy to avoid anger eating. You recognized your trigger and made a plan in advance. That is AWESOME.

And I hope you sue find some way to make them compensate you... stories like this make ME so mad to hear about!!

That was a great NSV for you! I too had a tendency to anger eat and it's a very good one to get rid of

I know the feeling. It's like "I'll show them, I'm going to eat" but if you really think about it, it's funny because they don't even know you're eating and why would they care if they did know you were anger eating... you'd just be hurting yourself by gaining weight! LOL!!!

Ah, my favourite game... "I'll show you; I'll hurt me!" Not effective, but I do it all the time.

Glad your strategy worked! It's awesome when we can recognize patterns and take action to "outsmart" them.

Great job! I also am an emotional eater, so I know just how hard that was to do!
