    Thanks gosh I didn't do it

    Well today might be worse then the other day I had. I have such a strong feeling of being overwhelmed, stressed, and very anxious. First i will say I am not depressed. I am under and extreme amount of pressure and my normal way of dealing with this is eating.

    All day as crisis after crisis occured at work I had many thoughts of running to our local amazing Chinese buffet and just eating my sorrows away. Lunch time approached and I had my mind made up that I was going to take my big self to this restaurant away from the office and gorge in all the crap they have - and then I will feel better and come back for more fires to put out.

    I stood up, I grabbed my water, locked my door and I walked to the kitchen of my office to fill back up and I felt an unbelievable urge to cry as I thought of my self sabotage. It wasn't worth it. I filled my water, I grabbed my pre-packed induction salad, I came back to my office and shut my door, had my salad and here I sit. Thanks gosh I gained perspective.

    Great job! It's funny how we used to medicate ourselves and restrain our emotions before by eating... We kind of have to reprogram ourselves now. I'm proud of you for avoiding self-sabotage!

      You made the best choice. If you had gone to eat away your misery, you would have ended up with even more misery.

      I, too, have been overwhelmed, covered up by obligations, fed up with the cold and windy weather, and barely sleeping. I had to cry uncle last week (not with my food) and I am back under control. I still have too much to do, but I no longer feel overwhelmed. Sticking with my exercise, no matter how bad I didn't want to do it, made a lot of difference.
      People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        Sunny I definitely would be in more misery had I splurged..I think I need to cry uncle myself and allow other people to take on some of my burdens.

        Pag - retraining my mind is very hard to do but I am slowly getting there - agghhh!! what a process! I just got done work after a straight 12 hour day and came home to steak in the oven with peppers and cream cheese and bacon on the side made by my husband. I am very grateful he prepped dinner so we didn't have the excuse of running out for something!

          Wow - you have a husband who not only cooks but cooks you something 'legal'!!

          He sounds like a 'keeper' to me
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            Elizellen - don't give him too much credit, he is very limited on what he cooks and we preplan so he knows what to prep LOL
