It's a victory, not weight related, but health related!

May 02, 2010

So, today I was talking to my mother, who I love tons and tons.  She is mostly wonderful but she can sometimes try to control every little aspect of her children's lives.  She said something like that today and I felt so angry.  I don't feel angry often and it is the worst emotion for me because I never know  how to share it without a blow up.  

Normally, therefore, if I'm angry I would have binged on food.  Instead, I was angry and complained to my man for a little bit and realized I needed to work out.  It was like there was a red angry energy just building up inside me and there really was no better way to let it out.  So I exercised and thought about it for my exercise time.  I feel better now.  I'm not angry anymore, at least not like that!

So I consider my choice of exercise over food (even liquid food) to be a NSV.  Now I just have to figure out what to do about what she actually said.  She doesn't get to make this choice for me.  I'm 32 for goodness' sake! 

Rock on peep!
