On my own, pretending he’s beside me.

Yay I weighted in today and lost 3lbs!! woohoo! I’m going to make this quick. Had an interview at Best Buy today. Interviewers were hot one in perticular lol. Anyways I havent been working out at much as I’d like. I learned some more about the weights at our gym today and did some weight training. Feeling pretty good about life.

So I was thinking today about all the negativity surrounding emotional eating. I am an emotional eater and will probably always be in one way or another. But what if instead of making it this horrible bad thing hanging over our heads and diet we turned it into a positive. I’ve decided I want to change my emotional eating not end it. So what if when I’m stressed or freaking out I want food. Whose to say its really un healthy. I think whats unhealthy about it is the foods I choose to eat emotional. If I could retrain my brain to trigger stress and think of apples or peppers or anything healthy I honestly dont see the problem. This is my new theory and I shall test it out over the next few months.

Song today …hmmm….its an oldie remade by the cast of the show Glee. This version is amazing, check it out for sure!!!

Lyrics-

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

    Good luck with the job. I am an emotional eater as well. For some reason carrot sticks don’t seem to comfort. I am sure I will always be an emotional eater and you are right, it would be great to change what we choose to eat.
