Default Proud of Myself Even Though It's a Bad Day

I had a terrible day today. I happened to comment on FB that I was working on a project for my favorite client and mention how much I loved working with them. Not 5 hours later, I received a contract termination notice from them due to budget issues. This has been a terrible few months for me. I can't work outside the home due to health issues, but I am not "disabled," so I have to work and earn money. I do so by freelance writing and, until August, had a booming business. Google changed the way they rank websites and, as a result, many of my clients either closed up shop or cut back on their content publishing. I have lost thousands of dollars in income and now I don't even know how I'm going to pay the bills or pay for my upcoming wedding.

On the bright side, my first thought was "I really want Ben & Jerry's," but then my second thought was "don't eat your feelings." I did put a little extra shredded cheese on my chili, but I'll still be below 1300 calories for the day, so I'm not too worried about it.

Dang, sorry you've had so many work problems lately. And definitely sorry you lost your favorite client.

But YAY for healthy, on plan food choices. You should be proud of yourself!!

Glad to be of service! I have to be honest and say I did end up cheating a bit later on in the evening, but not because of the work issue and not so bad that I ate a pint of ice cream. My aunt was in a bad car accident last night, so we were at the trauma center until midnight. I hadn't eaten for hours and I was starving, so I had ONE taco on the way home. I'm not happy about it, but I think the circumstances were extenuating.
