I know after tonight - that one of my biggest bad habits or self defeating patterns was that I went to food to take away the "stress" of my life...In fact tonight I had a stressful family event - my 12 yr old drama queen going postal over not being able to cut straight a project...really crazy stuff, and I had to go buy some ink cartridges...then I saw the candybars at the store by the register, Office Depot...why thanks for putting those candy bars there NOT...but I felt it, the urge to get one and eat it in the car...recognized the only reason I wanted it was due to my daughter's drama scene and what I was feeling and I said NO to myself. Then I went home and had a small glass of milk and a rice crispie treat - 90 cal, and only 7 gs of sugar...a much better choice :) That was a good choice...Anyway...it was just so obvious, the stress triggered my craving to use food to take away the mental anguish I was feeling...we need to realize these moments, document them, and change the way we deal with these events...because they WILL happen...and WE can decide to make better choices.
