Today I have had friends visiting form the Netherlands (I used to live there). It has been so nice to see especially one of them, we used to be very close to each other and we could perfectly understand each other's emotions. I really loved talking to her again; on the other hand, we have been talking about what happened in the past 3 years of my life, so I went through all those bad memories about my mother's death, the divorce, loosing my job. It has been really tough, from the emotional point of view. As soon as me and my partner were home, I started crying.... It was too much to handle. The good thing is, instead of giving in emotional eating, I talked about my emotions concerning those bad events with my partner and after half an hour we were both smiling :) wow, I feel so lucky!!
It's been a long time since my last emotional eating episode. It's about one month I am eating regular food instead of the no-sugar diet I was on. My weight is kind of stable, it's a good result. I gave in having cookies and cakes more times than it's good for my health, but all in all it's fine (considering how much I was longing sweets after 4 months without any). I am confident to be able to learn when it's appropriate and when it's not to eat sweet stuff.
I really feel better than one year ago. My life improved a lot. I am a happier person, I learnt how to enjoy every single day of my life. There are still memories from the past that make me have unhappy moments, the good thing is they happen way less often than in the past.
Life is good!!
