The other day on the way home from a friend's house I wanted ice cream. There isn't money to be frivolous and I've gained thee pounds, I asked for support in curbing my spending and eating habits, and... I got it. My girlfriend told me no. All she said was No and I felt like I had been slapped. For the rest of the night I behaved like a spoiled child. I would guilt trip her then apologize for it, feeling like an *ss. I couldn't sleep and nothing could placate me. She is more patient then I am, but at one point she said... "If ice cream will make you HAPPY... and that is ALL it takes to MAKE YOU HAPPY... then why can't I just give you the ice cream if it will fix this problem?" I know food won't make me happy long term. After a couple of hours, I felt more sane and I didn't want ice cream. A matter-of-fact I felt like I was behaving like someone who couldn't have a fix and was sort of embarrassed.
Out of this mass act of brattiness, I gave up junk food for a week. My eating has been so out of control, I really feel like if I can mass practice self control that ir will put me on the right track of will power. So far incidents have been minimal and it is as if the less sugar I eat the less I crave it. I've also made it my responsibility to say no, not my girlfriends, so there won't be any misplaced sh*t-headedness.
