Wanted to B&P, but didn't...

I found out an hour or so ago that I didn't get a job I applied for (it had a very long, involved, intensive interview process). I am disappointed, but I can honestly say it is for the best. Still, I was feeling overwhelmed by emotions when I found out, and totally wanted to B&P. But, I didn't. Or, at least, I haven't yet, and I'm not planning to. I'm going on a date tonight with my hubby. We're having Jimmy Johns for dinner and I'm bringing candy to the movie - calories I've already counted and will be okay with consuming. When I get home, I'm going to bed. I'm not going to allow myself to be alone in the kitchen. I have a daughter who needs her mom. She needs a mom who isn't going to set an example of B&P to deal with stress. I can do this.

I made it! I was grumpy & edgy for part of the night because I wasn't sure how to cope, but I made it. Today is a fresh, new day.

Sorry to hear about the job, but wow - so very, very well done to anticipate and avoid the urge.0

Thanks guys. It's one step forward, one step back sometimes, but at least yesterday was a step in the right direction. I wish I had been the one to be telling them no about the job, instead of the other way around, but at least I have an answer and can move forward!0

Thanks, all, but yesterday was a total disaster. Apparently all I did by planning well for Friday was push the problem to Saturday. Ugh. I talked to my husband and we're trying to make an appointment with a counselor. This can't continue, and clearly, I'm not doing a good job of stopping it on my own. Sorry to be a downer today - just trying really hard to be real.0
