My Lil Success Moment of the Day (...so far)!

FourLynne

Hello my name is FourLynne, and I am an emotional eater. :sad:

Today, I took a small step towards success!

My eldest daughter is going through something, so of course she is going to take it out on the one she is closest to the moment...me. It hurt my feelings. Instead of walking into the kitchen and drowning my sorrow with a cookie or worse, I walked towards the bedroom and right into a nice hot shower. As I was getting ready, it hit me...that aha moment that I had beaten an "emotional eating moment," and I truly felt empowered.

The daughter and I will make amends, but I can't let the emotions rule my decisions. :flowerforyou:

That's great! One moment at a time, it's about changing our behaviours as much as our nutritional habits Good job!

Well done to you, and I'm sure you and your daughter will pull through, lord only knows how we do it I have 3 hormonal daughters to contend with as well as 2 bigger hormonal sons, and one of them is only 3 :ohwell:

That is a fantastic step in the right direction!!
You should be proud of yourself! Remember that feeling next time you reach for those cookies

Good for you! You should be proud of yourself for recognizing a time when you were vulnerable and chose a different course of action. I'm always telling myself that , over time, every smart choice is taking me one step closer to my goal. Every little bit counts!!

That's terrific! I eat when under stress too. A hot shower sounds like a nice and soothing alternative. Good job.
