Cranky!

Had one of those days where the least little thing set me off.

Heck, I can't even explain it. I've typed & retyped for the last 20-30 minutes. Suffice to say, a friend did something today that hurt my feelings. I immediatly let the friend know that I was upset & it caused my friend to get angry that I had "misunderstood" the intention. I was so upset that first I was ready to growl and punch at anything in sight; while simultaneously wanting to bawl! I slammed a few doors & bit my lips trying to control my chaotic emotions.

I stormed into the kitchen to find the kids eating ice cream. Oh man! They had made sundaes with M&Ms and yummy sauce.  I stood staring at their wonderful creations for a minute debating whether I wanted one or not. That was progress for me. There was a time when I wouldn't have even hesitated before digging into a large sundae. Do I or don't I want it?

I turned around, grabbed my bag, & fled for the gym! I fought back tears for the first half of the workout but found myself on a more even keel by the end.

I'm still feeling a bit chaotic inside but I am so proud of myself for avoiding sabotaging my health and progress. Once I made the decision to avoid the ice cream, I've found myself breathing easier. I know there will be many more battles and I'm going to lose a few when it comes to emotional eating, but not today.  Today, I can be proud of that!

I'm sure once we both cool off, my friend & I will hash this out. That's what friends do, right? Anyway, I hope ya'll are having a better day than me!

Best wishes!

Awwww

So sorry about your bad day. Hopefully you and your friend will work everything out. But boy, do you deserve an "Atta girl" for avoiding the sundae and heading for the gym. Way to go on that one! Good job! Every little victory counts.

I'm sorry

Do you think your friend really meant whatever it was she did? I know sometimes I act without thinking and it often has the opposite reaction of what I thought it would. Either way, I hope you figure everything out.

But, MAJOR kudos to you for avoiding that sundae and going to the gym. I'm giving you tons of gold stars! I'm hope you're adequately proud of yourself - otherwise we'll all have to be proud for you! I hope today is a great day for you!

Great job!

Congratulations on not eating the ice cream!  That would have been hard for me too since I am an emotional eater!  I am sure you and your friend will make up, like you said you both just need time to cool off.  Hope your day gets better!

Awesome

So sorry that you and your friend fought - but good did come out of it.  You got put into an emotional stressful situation and you totally rocke dit out!  WAY TO GO!  saying no to that ice cream was a huge enough step...but then to get your emotions out at the gym and work through the pain instead of sulking.  That is just awesome.  You should be very proud of yourself.  I am proud of you!

Keep it up lady! :-D

Whoa

You had stress and resisted ice cream!  With M&Ms.  And Yummy.  Sauce.  You totally rock!!

That's a bummer about your friend.  Hopefully it works itself out very soon.
