I had such a good start of my day today. Then I got some bad news and boom, ordered up and ate half of dominos. I really want to break this habit. Anyone out there conquered this?

    How many calories are in feelings anyway?

    I keed... I keed...

    The best way that I've found to correct a bad habit is by replacing it with a good one. Instead of eating your feelings, do something constructive when you feel down. I don't know what you like, or what you're into, but if you can take your mind off of eating long enough, the feeling will generally go away.

    You know what's sad, I'm a counseling intern and I know that. I think I just want to vent about it. I'm just having an all day pity party. But thanks

    I chew gum and drink tea instead. I vape, too.... your mileage may vary on that last.

    Next time, can you call up someone close to you that you can vent to before ordering pizza? You might feel better and have the strength to break your habit and stay on track.

    That's me too often...whether it's relationship problems or something at home, I unintentionally shoot for the junk. I'm happy to talk, feel free to message me if it helps!
