I overeat in attempts to make myself feel better, I think they call it an emotional eater or something like that. I overeat in an attempt to make my problems seem less huge and also in hopes that they will go away. My problems lately are no different than anyone else's - Christmas is coming and where oh where are we going to find the money to provide for the kids the way we want to??
So, I know... get over it, move on.........
So, I know... get over it, move on.........
Anyway........
Yesterday I ate the following:
- A piece of toast with peanut butter
- A piece of cinnamon/sugar toast (and everyone knows in order for cinnamon/sugar toast to be really good it must be slathered in tons of butter)
- A large cup of coffee with cream and sugar
- A few peanuts
- A bottled water
- A few goldfish crackers
- A half piece of chicken
- Some corn
- A pop
- A Twinkie
- Another pop
- Handful of potato chips
- Meatloaf and potatoes
- Chocolate milk
- A spoonful of cookie dough
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Gee I wish I were! I seriously ate all that in one day. And guess what, my problems are still here today! So all that the overeating did was cause some serious digestive issues, bloating and weight gain. Nice. Now I have one more problem...how lose a gazillion pounds before Mr. Man's work Holiday Party???

If it makes you feel better, you are not alone.
Yesterday, I ate:
coffee with half of it cream
sourpatch kids
fries with nacho cheese
pizza and coke-NOT diet coke...
maybe not a long list-wait, I forgot something:
water (yes! Not that bad for me!)
anyway-but full of calories....
Tomorrow is a new day!
I'm not only an emotional eater BUT eat when I am bored. Double Whammy! LOL
Let's see...I ate a HUGE breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs, cheese & potatoes, a pepsi, a handful of cashews, handful of peanut m&ms, 2 cokes, 2 little slices frozen pizza. Oh! And a bottle of water and samples at Sam's club. Ha!
why do we do this to ourselves? I can't even remember everything I ate yesterday but I know it included two huge pancakes and bacon for breakfast, a 5 oz. bag of Twizzlers, sweet tea, peppermints (too many to count), and an English Muffin pizza(with cheese, mushrooms, and pepperoni) and tater tots. That's all I care to remember!
{hugs}... Everytime I hold Chris's hand and his super human body heat touches me, I get angry. While he merely thinks "I should burn some calories" his super human (aka- man's) metabolism has already burned off the calories of an olympic sized chocolate cake.
GRRRR...
Oh I have my days when I have eaten like that and then some!! I always hate myself afterwards--but some days I'm just SO hungry.
Just try to cut down tomorrow and have a nice exercise walk or something.
This time of year is so hard to not eat--I just made 2 loaves of pumpkin bread that are teunting me!!
I know exactly how you feel. I do really good till dinner time then I help myself to 2nd and 3rd helpings-Why? 'Course, I am nursing-and no that doesn't make the weight fall off. It only makes me eat much,much more!!
good luck tomorrow.
I am what I call a grazer. I "graze" all day long, but I have to in order to keep my blood sugar even, and my iron levels up. If I don't, I feel awful. I try to eat healthy all the time, but after a day or two of eating nothing but "good food" I start pigging out on junk food.
Food is a hard thing to stay away from, and I believe in eating or drinking anything in moderation. It doesn't work cutting out stuff altogether.
Just don't be too hard on yourself!
I seriously don't even want to THINK about all I ate. I am so an emotional eater. Didn't used to be. But, urgh. Guess I'm making up for it now.
If you had thrown in a couple glasses of wine or a martini I was right there with you! Last night while I was cooking dinner I managed to scarf down like half of the french bread I had bought to, um, "go" with dinner...slathered in butter of course :)
I could seriously not list what I ate yesterday. It would have consisted of Milka Caramel chocolate, fried potatoes (with bits of bacon - kartofffel brat), Milka, coffee, toast, Milka, Belgian chocolates - and yeah, lets not go there!
The only time I didn't eat like that was when I began to keep track. I didn't want the small journal page to be more than one page and so I had to watch exactly what I ate. Now being pregnant....I say to heck with it.
