Stressed and Disgusted


Funny how fast things can change in a day. I've been very stressed at work all week and today was no better. So I fell into old habits and I gobbled down about 15 of those little mini candy thingies and 7 (yep) mini butter croissants. How disgusted am I? Pretty danged disgusted.

Why don't I care more about myself than that? Why don't I pamper myself when I feel used and abused? I just don't understand how I can let my emotions make me do the things I hate.

  1. Next time throw those things at the people at work who piss you off. Throw 'em really hard! :)
    I am serious!
    I ate two bags of glazed gingerbread in the last 24 hours. About 900 calories a bag. Plus all those cookies I emailed you about...Ah lovely PMS! >:| Yep, pretty disgusting myself.

  2. I have absolutely had this same feeling more times than I can count. I have the feeling that the difference between me and someone at their goal weight is that I didn't stop at one mistake. I kept going. My ideal me stopped and got right back on track. Well, I've learned the hard lesson and I'm working every day on practicing. It sounds like you've already got the right idea and I'm sure you're right back on track. Good luck!

  6. I love what Holly L. said about "the ideal me". I think that's a great vision to have - the us that we are at are very best. Our best selves.

    Forget about the cookies, learn and move the hell on. Do the next right thing.

    Hugs to you....

  7. Stress eating is one of the things that put me in the pickle I was in. I found that exercise is the greatest stress-killer there is tho.

    Good luck getting your mojo back.

  8. What Staci said...one slip-up does not a disaster make (or something like that. You'll be back.

  9. Wouldn't it be nice if we could recognize the slippery slope BEFORE we go tumbling down it?

    It happens to the best of us. Nothing to do but stomp our feet and move on. I'm just sorry you've had such a stressy week!

    Sending you calming vibes for tomorrow & Friday!

  13. Hi, stopping in for the first time. Sorry you had such a bad day. Food is comforting and it's easy to get into the habit of grabbing for it when you are down or stressed. The positive is that you are aware that you eat when you are stressed. Maybe it would help to come up with a few strategies now so that the next time stress raises her ugly head, you will be prepared.

  14. Don't beat yourself up. You have years of learned habits to overcome. There will be slip ups. Look at why you did it.....forgive yourself and move on.
