I’m sure like a lot of people, I use food to cope with stress, fatigue, and sadness. I can stay disciplined for a decent amount of time and eat healthfully, but when the negative emotions (mostly stress and fatigue) kick into overdrive, cue the carbs, cheese, and Diet Coke frenzy. I’ve learned that the key for me is to manage those emotions and I don’t have to be so disciplined - the “need” to eat poorly never really arises.
I’ve been doing well and then tonight it happened - a lot of emotional pain and stress reared it’s ugly head. At first, I said screw it, I feel like trash, so healthy eating is cancelled for today.
As I pulled into a parking spot near a fast food place, I stopped dead in my tracks. I said to myself hold up - you have to deal with the issues that other people are dropping on your lap and now you’re ALSO going to let them derail your health and weight goals? OH HELL TO THE NO
And with that, I left. 😁
