I had another rough day at work. My first thought was "Order yourself a big meal from your favorite restaurant! That'll make you feel better!!"

But it wont.

I'm going to stay on plan tonight because:
I'm worth it.
I don't need fat laden food to make me feel better.
Treating myself well, by thinking of my health rather than my stomach, is what I need.
Tomorrow, I'll be happy that I didn't stuff my face.

You go, Missy! And yes, tomorrow you WILL feel amazing for not giving in to the emotional cravings.

In the meantime, maybe try something else to relax? Watching a show, reading a book, doing your nails, a nice bubble bath... or all four!

[AwShucks]

I vote for the bubble bath. It's pretty hard to eat while soaking in a hot tub. Good for you for recognizing the temptation and the cause. That's something I struggle with, and I've found that "seeing" it is 90% of the cure to the problem. If you know what the enemy is, you can subdue it. And, you know what yours is tonight. Way to go! I guarantee you'll feel good about this tomorrow.

Very well said! I think that is something that a lot of us (read especially me) tend to forget - we are worth the effort.

PS Well done, give yourself a big pat on the back!

Thank you everyone! I knew that posting here was the right thing to do!

I also played "chase" with my dog. It made her happy, which in turn made me happy, and got my heart pumping!

Thanks so much for posting this! It's inspiring, and came at just the right time too, helping me say no to eating my emotions tonight as well.

Thank you everyone for your support! It helps to know I'm not the only one who is going through these feelings .
