Proud of Myself

Jun 15, 2010

My surgery is less than a week away and I had a revelation yesterday.

Yesterday was not a good day.  It was filled with a lot of stress and emotional turmoil.  I came home and grabbed some chicken in my freezer that got missed when I cleaned out my fridge and seriously contemplated eating it.  Screw the consequences, as I was having a very bad day and I NEEDED food. 

Enter the AH-HA moment. 

I knew that I ate out of boredom, but did not truthfully did not realize that I am also an emotional eater - huh.  So I threw the chicken out and took up an invitation to meet someone new and play some baseball.  I redirected my focus and used physical activity as an outlet.  I also chose not to isolate myself and stew in my juices. 

I am proud of myself - and who knows maybe I've just started a new habit. 

Woohoo for me!!
