NSV
Yesterday a coworker offered me winegums. I am not in any program right now and normally I would have 2 and be fine. However, I'm going through some major family drama with an uncle (who is more like an older brother) was diagnosed with alcohol related dementia at 48 and I'm very emotional so I told my coworker "no thank you because just one would cause me to beat you up for the whole bag". We both laughed.
Last week I talked to my therapist about being mindful about emotional eating and agreed that if I'm being mindful and acknowledge that I am emotional eating that it is half the battle. She will be pleased to hear that I was being mindful and said no.
It was nice to meet some of you last week, but I admit there were some where I didn't put faces to names. Next time I won't make any other plans so I can stay for more than an hour! I also appreciated the feed back about not really mattering how I get my BMI down to 47 (although for those of you not present, we were talking about real foods and not fad diets )
