I just took a walk instead

Options
Instead of over-eating or doing something similarly self-destructive after something upsetting happened, I took a walk instead. I think that's probably a first.

It was miserably hot out and I probably should have put sunscreen on first, but I do feel better.

I'm still angry. I'm still upset. But I don't feel like I need to eat everything under the sun to make those feelings go away.

    Thats great. Every Time you try something different to manage your feelings your another step away from old behaviours. I exercise regularly and find that that is extremely useful for sort of automatically dealing with daily living. Like energy out, takes emotions with it!
