I have learned through the dieting process that I am an emotional eater. When I get upset I want to eat junk. Well I had a bad day yesterday and was so ready to just throw in the towel and eat a burger and fries. I jumped in my car and was driving to get the food while nearly crying at the same time from the guilt Then it hit me and I knew that it was my emotions and that I was way stronger and I turned my car around went home and ate my IP approved dinner and felt like a million bucks.

Way to go the I bet the victory "tastes" better that the burger and fries would have.

Whoo-hoo!!!
A million bucks feeling is way better than the "i hate myself for eating this" feeling!

Way to go! Being self aware and realizing the triggers is a huge victory. I recently picked up this book: 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food by Susan Albers PsyD and it is a goldmine for emotional eaters.

Thanks everyone!

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH! Congrats to you

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!! Great NSV!!!

YAY for YOU!!!!

Fantastic! That is such a great NSV and having done it once the next time will be so much easier to identify and hopefully avoid altogether.

Congratulations! That is fantastic! I completely agree with what everyone above me has said as well...and I am going to read that book! Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank You everyone...So lucky to have a place to talk about this kind of stuff. You guys are awesome.

Way to go, I am also an emotional eater and know how hard that would have been to not go ahead and eat the food and then feel so bad about yourself.. it's a vicious cycle and you are on your way to conquering it! Sty strong!

Fabulous and inspirational for all!

You go Girl!!!

It's so great when that little light comes on in your head! Congrats on the right decision.
