  • Wow..what a trying day I've had...

    Sp Lastnight, I was helping my sister move out of her house. Everyone I know was there trying to help...my sister's mother in law being one of them. It got to be like 11:30, and people were getting tired and hungry. Well, being the nice woman that my sister's mother in law is, she decided to suprise everyone with mcdonalds!! It was an awkward moment at first..I felt so rude to say no, I can't...sorry you wasted your money...So I very sneakaly slipped my soda to a friend of mine who said she wanted some 5 min before (just so you know, she is like 5'5 100 pounds...so I wasn't sabotaging her ) I said I was too stressed to eat and passed my burger off to my hubby who thankfully devored it. I was so proud of myself!! I did it!! I looked a large Coke and a double cheeseburger in the face and said..no thank you.. I brought a few deviled eggs!! I am so happy that I didn't screw this up. That would have been my breaking point any other time...but lastnight was different. Then, I got home at 6 am..yes 6 am!!! I got one hour of sleep b/c my little joey woke up...and I was crabby and wanted to eat...EVERYTHING!! Well, I ate a deviled egg (i love 'em) to hold me over while I scrambled some eggs and sausages. It was that simple. Now a month ago, I would have said " she has so much going on right now, i dont need to worry about eating a stupid burger, this one time wont hurt"...but not now..not ever again. Just because someone has a situation to deal with, doesn't mean that I can invalidate my own lifestyle!! Well, I know that was lengthy but..I learned a valuable lesson and really HAD to share!!

    You're AMAZING! Stressful emergency-type situations are the WORST type of vulnerability-creating episodes, and you MASTERED one! OMG! I hope you are as jazzed for yourself as I am for you!

    If you could make it through this while eating well, then you can do ANYTHING!

      I agree with Finelly! Stress is a major trigger for a lot of people! You did awesome!!!!! Good for you on being prepared...pre-planning is one of the best defenses in staring down the carb laden food! I'm so so so proud of you!!!

            Good job!! Imagine how stressed out you'd be today if you'd succumbed to the carbs. You were a tower of strength for both your sister and yourself.

              That's SOOOO amazing. And very diplomatic. I'm ashamed to say I didn't fare as well under similar circumstances. The day before we flew out on holiday my friends whom we were staying with, walked in with a pizza. I only had a teeny slice but I was too afraid to offend (and starving)
              Oh the shame,

                That is fantastic that you faced your crisis and still had the power to say NO. We are always going to have stressful situations come up. Having the strength to change the way we deal with those is a wonderful feeling. I think most of us can empathize with you. Stay strong. You are going to succeed!
