Guest guest Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I feel pretty good today, even though I made a couple bad choices last night. my partner and I got into a pretty big argument, which pretty much always makes me feel like I need to overwhelm my feelings with food. so I plopped my butt down on the couch with a box of Total cinnamon crunch and a bag of almond Kisses that I had gotten us for Valentine's day. I got pretty far into both of them... but then I stopped. I stopped long enough to check in with my body, in particular my stomach, and -immediately- realized that not only was eating that crap not helping -anything- that we had argued about, but it would make me feel horrible today. so I put it away. I didn't do a re-do right away, it's going to take awhile to get it into my head to even think about a re-do, but I did manage to point out to myself that it wasn't helping and would only end up making me feel worse in the morning. which it did, of course, but I'm looking at that as only reinforcing the lesson further! anyway, thanks for listening. without being able to express myself with some of this stuff, I think I'd probably not be doing well at all.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hmmm, must be something to do with Valentine's Day... I, too, had an argument with my S.O. yesterday. Well, it was more like a serious talk that I had to use all my skills to prevent from escalating into an argument. It was exhausting, and I was agitated and had a really really difficult day, emotionally. I have to be pretty careful to stay on an emotionally even plane, because I have this unfortunate tendency to " destabilize " . So, I took an " as needed " medication and I felt somewhat more relaxed. Then I drank a glass of wine and probably felt too relaxed. Chocolates were on hand, of course, because I had gotten a goody bag from a colleague. And so it begins, right? Well, I stopped after a couple bonbons, and h asked me twice if I *really* wanted another. Well, I checked in, and what do you know? I *really* didn't want another. interesting. And I wasn't really hungry for my full bkfast, so I ate a half-size mini bowl of cereal. Well, here's to you and me doing our self-correcting miracle and mental re-dos before the poundage gets us down. -COV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
