naerenae's Journal, 11 February 2011

My hunny took me out to dinner tonight. We ended up at Outback steakhouse. I was careful.... While he ate the bloomin onion and bread, I had my salad. Problem though, after a few bites, I looked down and noticed shredded carrots ALL OVER. I pushed the plate away but the nice waiter fixed it for me by bringing a different salad. Very pleased. I had a steak and green beans. My daughter got an ice cream sundae as part of her meal. Difficult for me to watch. BUT, I SURVIVED!

I'm an emotional eater. I'm very stressed because of what our new govenor is trying to pass. All I wanted to do when I got home from work is binge on chocolate, hide in the corner, and cry. Instead, my husband cheered me up by getting me out of the house. What a great guy!

I am proud of myself! I am taking control of my health and I'm going to make this work.

Squigglywiggly, horrible things are happening in Wisconsin. Our new govenor has a radical proposal to strip state and local public employees of their rights to organize and collectively bargain. He is also reducing state funding to all agencies. I am a public employee. If this passes, I will lose all my rights, my benefits that my union fought for, and will lose money each paycheck. Govenor Walker wants to fix the budget on the backs of the public employees. I am sick about this. I realize that something needs to be done about the state's debt. But fixing it only through the public employees is not fair. I'm also a stress eater. So far, I've been able to resist my urge in binge... but it's tough. :(

Wow.. good call on catching yourself in a want for stress binging. It sounds like this problem is going to be around for longer than a day though... so let's cone up with a plan to deal with this over the next month. Can you do an aggressive workout when you get angry? What about writing down all your feelings on paper... or making plans to go to a rally so that you feel you are taking action? This sounds so cheesy... but some meditation focused on all the good things in your life could help too.. what else guys?

I dealt with today by cleaning up a storm. Worked so well that I forgot to eat lunch. Go figure. :) Tomorrow I'm going to make a bunch of phone calls and send emails to express myself on the issue. It will keep me busy for quite some time. When I'm busy and distracted, it really helps in the food department. Thanks for the support! I really need it!
