I did it. I had even tracked the entire bar of chocolate, and I knew I'd be over my budget for the day. Not by much, but it was still over. But...I only ate two small squares, paused to put my toddler back to bed for the third time, came back and switched the rest of the bar for a couple of cheddar rice cakes.
I stress eat A LOT, so this was a huge deal for me. I'm a stay at home mom and it's been an incredibly long week of challenging children and them constantly fighting me on everything. Today I wanted to cave so badly and just eat the damn chocolate, but I stopped myself. I knew I would regret it. It would make me feel better tonight, sure, but tomorrow I wouldn't be happy about it. And in the end it would only feed the cycle all over again.
Emotional eating really sucks sometimes, and I wish I could flip a switch and turn it off forever. But today I won the battle, and I'm proud of that.
