it's a good thing

[ebm1224]

so last night i had a talk with my boyfriend. a not-happy talk. and today i woke up and just hated life. i actually called in that i would be a few hours late to work today. i just needed to clear my head a bit. now, the bf and i have talked since and we are on much better ground now it seems...but it was upsetting no doubt.

the woot comes here. i was in one of the worst emotional places i've been in the past couple years this morning. and i really wanted a chocolate bar. or a big plate of nachos. but y know what? i didn't get that stuff. a lightbulb sort of clicked in my head that "yeah, i might get a little endorphin rush from the sugar or the act of eating crap...but once that passed nothing would have been solved. and, if i'm going to have a cheat like that, i'd rather spend it at a time when i'm happy."

i guess i'm realizing that, while i haven't over come the demons of emotional eating, i've had my first real "test"...and i passed!

Wow...you go girl! I admire your self-control.

Sorry to hear you had a bad night...I hate those.

Good for you!! And sorry to hear about the bad night/morning, but seriously awesome that you didn't let yourself go pig out and feel sorry for yourself and pig out and hate yourself more!

That is definitely woot worthy.
