My 1st NSV: Self-Control

I overcame my first episode of stress eating today since starting up two weeks ago. Emotional/stress eating is what got me into the current state of affairs so this was pretty huge.
After a long 9 hour day at work, I had an Accounting exam across town and then try to make it to Zumba in less than an hour and a half. As I was halfway to my exam, I realized I had to turn back around and hit the ATM to pick up the cash for the correspondence fee, making me even later. As I was driving to the school to take the exam, I passed all the places I would have previously stopped for a stress snack - Taco Bell, Whataburger, Starbucks, Mc Donalds. Instead, I drove straight there, took the exam, drove to the gym and made into Zumba only five minutes late.
Learning that I have control over what goes into my body is an amazing motivator.

I totally understand! Eating because of stress (or to feel better) is something I am trying to control. So far, I have lost 21 pounds by trying to control it! Good luck on your journey!0
