I'm about ready to blow it

After hearing about Carrie Fisher, I'm ready to eat. I want to make a run to Tim's (donut shop) and blow about $50 on muffins and danishes, but it's blizzarding out making driving very dangerous. At least at home, I'm limited on the sweets/chips I can cram into my mouth. Would be way more calories that $50 of snacks from Tim's though.

I'm an emotional eater, so this is a real struggle for me.

inb4 "it's just one day" and/or "suck it up, cupcake".

    Sorry. 2016 has been difficult. You'll just feel worse if you binge.

    Well, at least convince yourself not to risk life and limb by going out into the weather to buy stuff!

    I find sometimes giving myself permission to blow a specific amount of extra calories helps, because the only thing worse than emotional eating is the guilt eating that comes after it :(. It's weird how celebrity deaths can have such an affect on us, isn't it? We feel so connected to them! You're not alone, we just do the best we can I guess. Sorry I don't have any stirring words of wisdom, but I'll be hitting the wine we didn't end up needing over the weekend a little harder tonight myself. Hang in there!

    I made it through today without blowing it. Ate all the cream cheese mints (153 cal), a small bag of York mini peppermint patties (142 cal), and 2 rum balls (106 cal). I did spend a lot of time smelling open food packages.
