okay 3 bad eating days and i'm trying to get back on track. i am at that TOM and my hubby and i have been arguing over the stupidest things and wouldn't you know it, i'm an emotional eater!! so not too many things working for me right now but i'm trying to plan a healthy dinner and then i'm going to the gym after dinner, sooo, maybe tinight will be better and i can stop this horrible downward spiral!!! sorry so long winded, just needed to vent!! any suggestions on things to do instead of eating when i'm mad? thanks for listening!! shanta

I don't know if this will work for you but....My boyfriend told me he can always tell when I'm mad or upset because all I do is clean. I like to bang things around and if that means the washer and floors get a banging well...

I have a clean house anyway....LOL

Acknowledge that your mad and out of sorts is a great start Nicole. Accept, surrender, and try to just be in the moment. When I find myself angry and fighting it all its because I am trying to control someone else or something, when truth be told all I can do is control me.


Miss Chris

a good thing to channel your anger into is exercise: particularly running or biking, i've found. jump up and down. maybe go for a drive?
do you like loud music? rock?
come here and make frustrated posts in ALL CAPS? we'll put up with it

just brainstorming, some of them might be stupid :/

thanks for the suggestions. i do like rock music and i'm going to try that and maybe cleaning will help. i love the banging pots and pans but my 1 1/2 tr. old might pick that up and not stop!! lol he loves to bang things so if he sees mommy doing it he'll want to join!! i have gotten back on track yeah!! thanks again for all the support!

I'm right there with ya, Nicole! Just been PMSing and the husband has been just driving me crazy. (you know he isn't doing anything just the hormones and all that) So I finally sat down with him and just flat out told him and he understood and agreed to give me some space.

I need to use exercise as a release too instead of food.

and here is some for all who need it (including me!). We can do this!
