Weight Loss: Day 6

Well I had an alright day.  All in all I am still doing well.  Today I am having various issues emotionally that are making eating well difficult.  The first issue is that I have bad for you food in the house for the first time.  It is hard for me not to eat it all.  I did well though and stayed away from it all.

The other issue is that I am having a stressful time with my daughter in school.  I have a meeting in the morning that I am stressed out about.  It is so hard to remain strong but I beat the overeating urge and came out of it on the other side.

Emotional eating has to be the biggest issue I face.  When I am stressed, pissed or upset about something I want to EAT!  It does’t even matter most days what I eat.  Just as long as there is something in my mouth.  Today I did none of that.  Rather then eat I kept myself busy.  I was able to clean the house, do some research and still have a good day.

I did have a meeting at my house tonight which meant I did not eat perfect.  I did control the amount that I ate.  This is HUGE for me.  I usually do not pay any attention.  Tonight I tried a little bit of everything.  I made sure that most of the things on the plate were healthy.  I used reduced fat sour cream and light mayo.  I think for the situation I did very well.

How do you all handle the emotional eating thing?
