Not as "healthy" as I thought... So I've been (silently) proud about the healthy choices I've been making. I'm not a "shout it from the rooftop" kinda girl when it comes to myself. Heck, I don't even have a ticker because I think only my doc and I really care how much weight I lose.
Well in one freaking day, my "healthy" choice gets thrown to the wind. Correction, I throw it to the wind. Here's how it happened. Toss in a helping of serious family drama since Christmas day, an ounce of disgust over reading some recent posts on OH and sprinkle in the knowledge of upcoming job stress. And voila...I find myself making a bad choice. I get that this isn't a big deal to some people but to me it was and still is. And I didn't binge on a bag of Cheetos or a box of Krispy Kremes or anything like that - but it wasn't a healthy life choice nontheless. And the sad thing is that I had "that conversation" with myself while I was making said bad decision. You know, the conversation where you talk yourself out of making a bad choice. But apparently, I didn't really care.
So to every bad thing, something good MUST come of it as well...right? Otherwise I will have missed the life lesson and repeat it. I guess the thing I learned is that I really need to find something besides exercise and my "control" over food to help me cope with stress.
Ok, now my pity party is officially over. In reality, 2007 was a great year for me. And I know 2008 will be just as rewarding, if not more.

K, please don't beat yourself up over this. What's done is done. Just pick yourself back up and carry on. I think we need to be as good to ourselves as we are to others....Goody
