Food Journaling Helped Me

I'm home alone, just finished watching a movie that has left me feeling very emotional and vulnerable. I have this HUGE urge to eat something awful.

I decided to go to sparkpeople.com and track some possible food choices. After reviewing how well I have done all week and trying some different options to see what they would do to my totals (cals,carbs,fat,protein) after 15 mins I have decided to have a protein drink mixed with water, grab a book and go to bed.

Am I comforted by this decision? Tonight, absolutely not. Hopefully in the morning I will feel much better about this.

Hi Arb, Just keep trying something will work!! You will feel better, just tell yourself you are going to feel better NOW!!! Ok, well it may take a few days, it did for me. I just wake up and say I am feeling better today. I kinda act as if I do and then a sorta do. Find something you are happy about with yourself, hey like you blog really well. I never thought of myself as a blogger but it helps in these times. I find myself alone a lot these days it is very hard to keep my paws out of the cookie jar. I have never been to sparkpeople.com I will have to see what is up there. It also helps me to read other peoples blogs. I have learned so much for others and have made some helpful friends. Have a GREAT day. imaluckydog Kathy
