i managed
... to talk myself out of eating a HUGE slice of pepperoni pizza, a frozen pizza, or a taco tonight. I'd already had dinner (sort of), but spent the last 2 hours hysterical thanks to a talk with my mom (she's trying) and a particularly emotional therapy session. I felt totally empty and hollow - and hungry.
But my weight loss instincts - added to my desire to control my self destructive impulses - brought me down. I spent about 15 mins going up and down the street looking for a Lean Pocket, or some sort of Lean Cuisine alternative, and found it in a 4 cheese Lean Pocket plus some vegetarian pepperoni slices. All in all, it cost me 7 points, but I was about 9 under today anyway, and its a helluva lot better than the real pizza.
I even waited until I was home, logged in all my points for today, calmed down, tried a lowfat yogurt, and time had passed before I actually ate my makeshift pizza alternative. So, I'm learning.
Its a good thing that I went to the grocery store last night (healthier eating), as well as the gym, and cleaned my house, because I'm arming myself against my impulses and emotional eating. Next time I feel anxious or hysterical, I'm going to try hitting the gym.
