Gotta be honest, I’m sitting here eating a donut. Ommmm nom nom nom.
After several weeks of no workouts and lazy eating I finally started back working out this week. I did a workout with the friend, two with the mom (slower, shorter ones) and this all equals a good week for me.
Yet, here I sit with the donut.
<sigh>
Last night on twitter I posted this thought: Worst night ever? And I feel no emotion. I should feel bad but I don’t. I feel nothing. Food won’t even comfort this feeling, thankfully.
I knew it was true when I posted it so I went to bed without late night eating to make me feel better before sleeping. That was a major win, but this morning when I woke up I didn’t feel any better at all. So I turned to food.
I ate a bagel with peanut butter, an omlette, and 3 mini donuts within 4 hours. EH. It didn’t help with anything. I was right last night when I so clearly knew that food would not help the blankness I am feeling. The weekly weigh in where I weighed 244 (down from vacation weight but still not good) didn’t make me feel better either.
Yet I still tried food as a solution. I wish I had listened to myself from last night and trusted that food wouldn’t comfort. Since it didn’t work I am going to move on to something I know will make me feel better: watching the office and a good workout. Yes… exercise is going to solve all my problems. I know it.

Mind you, I’m not the best resoure in the world for healthy eating, but the donuts seem to be the worst of it, and at least you only ate 3. (I could easily go through a bag of those things in a morning. Well, I think I could, I never tried. *G*)
Good for YOU for focusing on the exercise. I’m headed to the gym in a bit myself!

Woohoo gym time! It makes everything seem clearer, work better. :)
I hope whatever was making you feel down enough to turn to food has passed.
And exercise! It’s amazing the power of strenuous activity to lift the spirits :)
Have a good day :)

Just skimming through your blog. Looks like you’re snacking on too many refined carbos (breads). Try and make a habit of cutting those out, and the weight will come off faster. You’ll feel better too.
I’ve recently axed all gains in any form. I’ll maybe eat them once-in-a-while in the future, but they’ll no longer be a diet staple.
Switch up that nasty peanut butter for almond butter too.

This is another one of those things I KNOW, but I just don’t do. Want to offer some practical substitutions for me?
