Here I go again. I had a big fight with my husband, and all I did was eat leftover candy. I hate that when I get emotional I give into the bad habits. Why do I have to not take care of myself when I am upset?

Well it is a new day to start again. Hopefully I am in control again.

We are ALL emotional eaters! You're trying to find comfort when you're support network is down. I was sabbotaging my healthy eating every time something wasn't "perfect" in my life. Then the next day I would feel like crap for eating all that junk. To fix it, I try to change what I find comforting into healthy things... my goto feel good potion is a hot cup of spice tea or a hot cup of cocoa (they have diet cocoa that you can put sugar free creamer in to make it yummy). And if I need something to eat, I'll make homemade popcorn with real butter or chips and salsa. I figure it's a great snack, but not all the sugar/carbs of cookies, cheesy breads and candies.

When I feel myself going into sabotage-mode I tell myself "NOPE" and leave. I get out and go. Where? Usually for a walk, or a drive maybe. Sometimes I go to the park... It's good to get out and go. My anger or sadness usually subsides and I start finding beauty and interest in nature. If you stay in the house, there's too much temptation and opportunity to sabotage your diet. How am I supposed to resist temptation when I'm feeling so emotional and the piece of cake is only a few steps away??!
