Emotional Eating
Guilty, guilty, guilty. Yes, I know that most people do eat for emotional reasons and this is what leads to weight problems. I know this, I’ve taken classes on this. But that doesn’t make it any less easy for myself. Again, today is day 2 of being conscience of it. I’m honestly leaving myself no choice. I’m putting on the pounds quickly and I need the money. I can’t make money if I don’t lose the weight. What kind of example am I setting by gaining weight?
It is difficult when I am surrounded by places that smell of greasy food. But I’m not going to carry cash on my person. I won’t buy it if I have to get my cash card out to pay for it. It takes extra time to think about it then.
For dinner last night hubby made an awesome steak dinner with baby red potatoes. AHHHHHHHHHH, my first day of eating good and I’m getting testing with this? I honestly was prepared for it to be pizza, so I went home with a different mindset. If it was pizza I was going to make myself a salad. End of story. Since it was steak, I had about 4 ounces and made sure and cut off any excess fat. I did eat the sauteed mushrooms, but I combined the mushrooms with the broccoli. 
Nothing needed on the broccoli this way. Then I know that starches are my downfall. I left the potatoes in the container they were in the fridge and I had about a quarter of one cold. Guess what? It didn’t taste very good cold and I didn’t want anymore. lol Boy, that worked accidently. lol I was way too lazy to heat anything up. About an hour after that I did have a cheesestick and some triscuits. But all in all,I was spot on under 1800 calories.
