Confessions of a food aholic

So I've concluded that I really am a stress eater.  This week I had a sewer pipe break in my FINISHED basement where my daughter and her hubby live, my son-in-law was in ICU (not from that), I ended up putting them up in a hotel for 3 days.  I'm supposed to be on vacation, but instead I'm dealing with water mitigation, contractors and insurance.  What did I do????  I got into my husbands ice cream stash.  It gets worse.  He had pistachio ice cream.  I picked through the ENTIRE 1/2 gallon and selectively ate all the pistachios, then I microwaved the remaining ice cream so I could smooth it down so maybe he wouldn't notice   I could give tips at an AA meeting!

I am sorry you are dealing with the water damage.  On the ice cream front, I had to laugh.  My husband made me mint chocolate chip protein ice cream with sugar free mints.  Just the other day, I went through it and picked out all the chocolate and tried to smooth it out.  We seem to share the same neurosis.  Sorry, you are stressed out.  Maybe a cup of tea with vanilla might help? 

That's so funny, great minds think alike!

well sounds like enough stress there to make you eat an entire luau!  Don't be too hard on yourself. Just move on. One thing about this surgery is I find that one indulgence goes a  long way; in other words it satisfies and doesn't seem to make me want more and more like it used to. Maybe its just a mindset, but try to think of it in those terms - one booboo does not mandate a sting of booboos.

We had a toilet erupt at our art studio so Ii know what an awful thing you dealt with. Imagine yourself as super woman dealing with this because you are!!

And hey at least you picked out the pistachios instead of eating the whole carton. take pride in that.

and have some protein ice cream bars or something ready made in case there is another plumbing or other crisis.

Protein ice cream???  I'm not sure where to find that, but I'll look!

you gotta make it yourself. can be as simple as making protein drink and freezing. nuke a bit in the microwave to soften. can mix in blueberries and such. i make it with smoothie king gladiator but any old protein powder will work. can make it in ice cream freezer or just pour into popsicle molds. see the eggface website too.

You are having a rough week!!!  Hang in there hun.  I sure hope this all resolves and passes soon.

Life squeezes hard sometimes, does not it? 

Sorry girlie!! 

I also do stress eating, among other kinds.

ditch the being secret and ashamed - it makes things worse. in fact it ADDS stress.  if you are going to eat ice cream do it out loud and proud and in front of God and everyone.

this is important!
