Default Made the right choice

I am hoping that this is in the right thread.

Last night I was extremly angry about something, madder than I have ever been!!
Well usually when I am mad I eat and eat and eat. I have always been that way since I was little.
Well last night I got on the tredmill and walked for over two and a half almost three hrs..
It felt so good to get it all out and for once do it the right way.
Maybe I should have someone tick me off more often..

LOL hey whatever works!! Yes I'd say this is the right place to post as that is definitely an NSV and will result is an SV!!

I noticed kind of the same thing... the past couple days have been kind of overwhelming and I've been in a real funk; normally I really try hard to keep a pretty positive focus. BUT I never one time seriously considered pigging out to "solve" things!

Well done!!! That is a marvelous NSV!

It made me laugh, because that is exactly what happened to me that made me feel as though I was actually taking back control of food. I had something happen at work, that would normally have had me eating everything in the pantry, AND wanting to nibble on the pantry door! But instead I came home and did a REALLY good workout on the treadmill. I didn' go as long as you (you did WELL!), but it was definitely a good workout, and BOY did I feel great afterwards. You know, I think I was a LOT calmer after that than I would have been after pigging out too.

I hope that whatever caused this 'workout' is sorted for you soon.

Take care,

Zelma

That's really fantastic! I too go off on a binge when I'm angry. Lately at best I've been able to distract myself and just not eat, but taking out the anger and aggression with exercise is much better! Good work...

What an amazing step in the right direction! To be able to channel that energy you would have normally put into eating into exercising is an amazing AMAZING feat!!

As someone mentioned, that will probably go along way in turning an NSV into an SV!! Congrats!

Thank you everyone for all the supportive words! It really helps alot!

Dalai lala - Normally I am a angry eater like no other. Not sure why or what I think that I am gonna accomplish by eating but at that angry moment I don't think logically. Except for last night, first time ever I decided to that to let out all the aggrection! Trust me if there were punching bags around I would have work out on those to...

Ellis - Believe me I do the same thing you do, My house is spotless and all my laundry is done!
If my legs wouldn't have been so weak after I got off the tredmill my car would have been clean too...

Sli - you sound like me, I got really mad earlier, so walked 5 miles home and then got straight on the exercise bike for 30 mins .... by the time I got off I was far too knackered to be angry.

Great job. When I get angry, my house gets a good cleaning. The kids scatter or they know they will be cleaning too. Channeling this energy elsewhere is just the right thing to do.
