Shouldn't have eaten that today

We had a particularly busy day at work today. Also one of my colleagues takes pleasure in "correcting" all of us which just irritates me. Lunch breaks came late and there was no time to take an afternoon break to refresh ourselves.

I think I ate well today except when it came to the cookies. I ate my lunch and had three large chocolate cookies with macadamia nuts in my lunch bag. Well, I ate the cookie. Then I ate another one. After lunch I didn't feel so good. Those cookies were too sweet.

Then came the afternoon when the self-appointed correctional officer/executioner decided to pull me aside for something she thought she should mention to me under the guise that I had created animosity among our other colleagues. I was quite pissed off. Several hours later I ate the third cookie. It didn't even make me feel better. This is the first time I have related stress eating for myself.

Honestly, I would have felt better if I had slugged her. We are all adults and the petty things she pulls us aside for are meaningless to everyone but her. It is really harassment and a form of bullying in the work place. just don't think she knows that.

Anyhow, when I was packing my lunch this morning, I initially thought of throwing away the cookies. However, I put them in my lunch bag and the rest is history.

    Don't kick yourself too hard, you've already acknowledged that it was a mistake to pack them. I've never accomplished anything off the back of a feeling of guilt, best to just forget about it :tongue:

    Thanks everyone. It was just three cookies which is not my normal. I am more upset with myself for letting my colleague get my goat, so to speak, than I was at eating the cookies. It is just the fact that she does this frequently and I seem to be the one getting her "correcting". She is NOT our supervisor.

    Agreed! Learn from it, next time only pack one cookie, that way you can have a treat but not the temptation and the guilt of going overboard, or the tummy ache that comes from too much sweets

    Try not to let her get to you.....if she does, she wins! I know that is easier said than done but hold your head up high and act as if it doesn't bother you. You know you are a great worker and are doing your job well!

    2 points - why don't you discuss the problem with your supervisor. Bring along some co-workers that are also fed up. Secondly, you set yourself to fail when you packed the 3 cookies in the first place, well before the "correction officer" incident of the day. Sounds like you're trying to blame your cookie consumption on her even though you packed the cookies before going to work.

    That said, too late to go crazy about it now. Just pledge to do better tomorrow.

    No. Not trying to blame the cookie consumption on her at all. I just had one of those brilliant self discoveries because of the incident. Like I said, this is the first time I have connected stress eating with myself. Light went on in my head.

    I agree, I should have packed only one cookie. I packed them all with the intention of leaving them there and having only one or none. I like sweets and recognize I need to get them out of the house.
