I Had a Breakthrough Tonight!
My aunt died this evening and immediately I wanted to go on a major emotional eating binge. Instead I forced myself to run on my treadmill,do a Walk at Home video, and lift weights. I pushed myself to exhaustion, burned tons of calories, cleared my head, and got control of my emotions all without the need of food. This is the first real emotional situation I have found myself in since surgery, and I think I handled it well.
