Before After

Emotions

Today has been an up-and-down day. I know everyone goes through times in their life when they have ups and downs, but I took online quizzes today to see if I had bipolar disorder. Yeah, I don't go through extremes. I guess today was just a bad day. Kinda. I graduated from Grad School today. I dealt with the realization that I still don't have a job. I'm having doubts about the relationship I'm in. See... so much to think about.

What I realized today is that I am an emotional eater. I started to over-eat this morning after I worked out. I even went so far as trying to figure out a way to justify it. I stopped myself. It was such a battle. My apartment is full of temptations. If I lived alone it would be easier to keep these things out of reach and have less temptations, but my roommate loves sweets, thus I can find them all the time. Anyway, I got through 1 battle today, and now I'm battling another. I'm hungry, but it's almost midnight and I don't want to go to bed on a full stomach. So, I'm off to drink some water and/ or Crystal Light then go to bed.

I hope to weigh in tomorrow with less weight to log and more hope for the day.

Don't get too down on your self...

I am an emotional eater too.  That's one of the thing I am trying to mentally change.  It just takes some time, but you have taken a step in the right direction.  You have realized and admitted that you are an emotional eater.

You graduated Grad School?  Congratulations!  I am sure you will get a job soon.

I hope that everything else works out.  Please feel free to chat if you want.  Good luck!

emotions...

oh yeah.....I feel your pain on that one. Emotional eating. When I am happy - I eat, sad - I eat, you name it - it's just another reason to eat.

Honestly, since I started journaling my food to include time of day and just a short 1-2 word diary entry next to it, I have found that I eat mostly when I am depressed/sad or agitated. When I am happy I don't eat as much.

Congratulations on grad school!! What a great accomplishment!! You will get a job in no time - prolly more than 1 to choose from!!

good luck on your journey!
