What I really want to know....

is why do I want to stuff my face when I'm angry with my husband? It just makes me more angry (this time with myself) that I want to do this STILL, even though I know it's so not the good thing to do. I manage to not do it, but the thought is still there. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............................

AMEN SISTAH SNAIL! The boys went for those tests I was telling you about and i'm eating through the house out of nerves (plus it's the first day of my period i feel like a train wreck). I'm walking around in sweats and spike heels for Sunday's big "deal" and i want to cry. ANDI

One of the things I am working on is recognizing what makes me want to eat or the antecedents to my eating behaviors. I tend to eat when I am bored.. not so much when I am mad.. Eating when your angry tends to mean you want to be comforted, thus you go for comfort food... recognizing it and finding incompatiable behaviors to the destructive behavior is the best thing you can do. When you get mad at your husband.. think of somehting else you can do instead of eating.. go for a walk, knit, do something with your hands that make it impossible to eat at the same time.. take a shower. The theroy is that it should only last for abouit 20 minutes and you can move on without engaging in the inappropriate behavior.. ie eating.. I am staying away from computer games and finding other things to do to keep me from being bored.. If i feel bored and want to eat I will play with the kids, look something up on the internet.. Not a game.. go outside and look at the flowers.. or plan my weekend out.. that seems to help me when I am loosing the battle with munching...

Im sorry to say I do this to myself too....
