Emotional Eating Challenge Day

So apparently the beings that are are challenging my emotional eating restraint, because today has been a CRAP day!  Didn't get much sleep last night thanks to grinding my teeth so hard they woke me up, then left the house late thanks to several fire trucks lining my street, then had a patient call me a "smart ass"....who me?!?!, then I got an escalated call transferred to me after I was turned down for a promotion to a position that DOES take those calls, THEN I get told my "working from home" status will be pushed out another week.  Grrrrrrrrrrr.  All I want to do is gorge or anything and everything chocolate.  I'm cranky and tired and emotional and there is NOTHING I can do about it.  In my emotional eating class I learned that we have to deal with the actual emotion and identify the REASON we feel the way we do.  I've tried talking it out via IM with friends and it's just not helping relieve the emotion.  I can't nap at work which would be the cure to the tired.  I feel trapped and when I'm trapped and have little options for "dealing".....I eat chocolate.

I. WILL. NOT!!!!! DO IT TODAY!!!!.....so I turned to my blog and here I am.

My determination is stronger than any emotion I am feeling or having a hard time dealing with.  Chocolate or any other "comfort" food is only going to hurt me in the long run.  There is no long term positive effects from eating my feelings, in fact, in the end the feelings I'm feeling will only be compounded by guilt and will only make me have to work harder to gain control back, because the blood sugar spike I'll experience will send me spiraling out of control.  So, no.....I won't do it and that is that.

Thanks for listening :)  Love you all!
