STRESSED!!!

Ok... I had a bad morning and I am stressed.... I'm so ready to just start eating everything in sight.   I started out this morning with two boiled eggs and was totally prepared to only eat my protien today, brought my lunch to work.  I walked outside to start my car and my bumper is completly ruined.. my husband had to rescue my son-in-law last night because his car broke down and he pushed his car with my car and ruined my bumper....
HELP... it's not worth it to ruin my way of eating today but it sure feels like it

Oh yes, emotional eating~I know it all too well!!! When I realize what I'm doing, I try to remind myself that eating everything in sight is only going to hurt me, not the person I'm angry with. They most likely have no clue I'm emotional eating and probably don't even care!  Try to divert your attention to something else~exercise/walk, go online, if you're at work pull out some paper work to keep your hands busy, etc. I know its hard, but you can do this! Good Luck and keep us posted.

Emotional eating is the   I have to almost rebuke it!  I find myself going into my kitchen and to stand around and look for something like an alcoholic would stand around and look for beer!  Sometimes I give in and sometimes I talk myself out of it.  I have found that if I leave the kitchen without something I do really well or if I leave the kitchen with something measured out I do o.k. because I can acually write in my food journal what I am eating.  If I leave the kitchen with pretzels or something I end up eating way to many and then I don't even know how to count the calories.  Anyhooo I understand!  Good luck with the rest of your day and God bless, Penni

Take a nice big bottle of water and ice and go for a power walk...Just pump your arms and stomp your feet until the energy exursion takes the stress down a few pegs.

He'll have to make the bumper right...He's definitely going to have to do that but you need to handle the stress on your eating right now...Him you can kill later..LOL.

Thank you all for the support!!!  I did slip a little, I got an iced coffee drink... tons of carbs
but that is all I am going to do to give into this overwhelming feeling!
I had a snack of yogurt around 10:00 and now I'm eating my lunch of a boiled egg and cheese.  I've had two big glasses of ice water and I'm feeling like I might be getting control. 
I do think about going and getting some popcorn though... that is a problem for me because I love popcorn!!
I will make it through the next hour... then the next... then before I know it this day will be over.
