My teenage son is mad at me, he hurt my feelings and now I want to drown my sorrows in food. The ups and downs of dealing with teenage children are the cause of much emotional eating. You know you have to suck up sometime and be the mean parent. Even though you know your doing the right thing, for me, the concept that I have just made one of my children unhappy, causes me distress and, of course, makes me want to eat.
The only thing keeping me from eating right now is that I can't really think of anything good enough to take away the pain. One thing I have accomplished over the past year is ... I don't just blow my diet for just any random junk food anymore. No, it had better be something really good and satisfying.
I should tell you there is a war going on inside my head right now. It is between the skinny wannabe and the wicked fatgirl that occupy my brain. It goes something like this ...Eat something, you deserve it .... No don't do it, not worth it .... Find something really good, what have you been craving....No I can't think of anything that I want, it's not worth it...and on it goes. Hey! Shut up in there!
Okay the skinny wannbe side has now suggested I do something else that I have wanted to do, like the movies or a pedicure (okay too cold for that today) hmmm, I'm liking that idea. I'm gonna check the movies schedule, even though I'm supposed to be fixing my resume, starting the taxes, cleaning the house, etc.
Lucky for me there were no brownies or cheesecakes lying around, I don't think the skinny wannabe side would have beat out the wicked fatgirl side of me if that had been the case.
Happy Weekend!
