Emotional Eating

Yesterday evening was a disaster for me, a real opportunity to look at some emotional eating and drinking. First a glass of wine to unwind from a stressful afternoon filled with some old memories and prepare for an evening visit with a friend (I was not looking forward to it). The friend had forgotten our plan, which was fine, but meant that "dinner" was basically processed junk and a couple of beers instead of ordering sushi like we had planned. My friend's kids were all over us and she wanted to talk about her affair. Frankly the whole thing stressed me out so much that I was already thinking about what I would stop and eat on the way home...dinner wasn't satisfying and I was on edge. The pizza I bought was so bad that I couldn't even finish the two slices, I threw most of one away and didn't really know why I got it in the first place.

I woke up this morning feeling awful. Not just about my friend's situation, but because I drank too much the night before with not enough quality food and water and was totally dehydrated. It sucked. I would have been better off taking a few moments to remind myself that eating well, as I was having a stressful moment, would have been what my body really needed to calm down. Instead I feel like I made things worse, and knew even in the moment that I would regret eating these things.

Sorry for the rant, I know this isn't supposed to be my blog exactly, but yesterday evening was so strange for me and really gave me some insight. I've been working on being so conscious about my eating lately, that it is almost impossible to eat mindlessly anymore.
