So this past week I’ve had 2 big non scale victories. Both are related to emotional eating. My husband and I had a not big/not small fight Sunday night. I took off for a bit too cool down. My whole drive all I could think was getting a big bag of jalapeño Doritos and eat it all(I CANNOT say no to chips, no matter how full, I will eat the large bags by myself in one sitting). This whole hour long drive, I was going over the mental battle. “Oh one bag of chips won’t be bad, your struggling, you can use the pick me up”. Then as I kept trying to resist, fighting the whole food as a pick up, my mind desperately tried to change the terms. “Oh well, get a small bag and that’s ok, it’s just a small bag”. I did end up getting a Diet Coke, which while still feeding into a craving, it wasn’t my horrible normal choice.
The second one is my aunt collapse Monday night and was without oxygen for at least 15 mins. She’s in icu and non responsive and it’s looking like she’s brain dead. Again a traumatic situation and crap food is my coping mechanism. I resisted again!
Two resistances with triggers, I don’t know if I ever resisted once, let alone twice. For me this is huge. It feels like maybe, just maybe, I’m finally fully understanding that giving in, doesn’t fix my problems, it makes them worse by adding guilt for eating so awfully.
I really hope this logic and mental control keeps up!
