The bad news is this was a very emotional weekend, but the good news is that I didn’t cave. It has been eight days since I have had pop. If I could make it through this weekend, this tells me I am in the groove. I just have to make sure nothing trips me up. I went out to dinner a couple of times this weekend, including watching the Bears game at BW’s tonight and I stuck to water.
I had my heart crushed tonight, and the old me would have hit the DQ or Starbucks to drown my sorrows in a nice coffee drink, but I didn’t. I went through an hour or so of self pity why me, nice guys finish last, boo hoo crap, but you know what I am not the one with the problem. I need to stop letting other people control my happiness. As I heard somebody somewhere say once, “Happiness is the best revenge.”
OK, that had nothing to do with this getting healthy blog, but I had to let it out. I guess it does. People, we need to stop doing unhealthy stuff to our bodies when we are emotional. If you lost your job, or got dumped, or what ever is weighing heavy on your mind tonight don’t fall into old friendly habits. Step away from the Ben and Jerry’s and go for a walk or pick up a good book. I also find crying to a John Lennon CD is very therapeutic and far fewer calories. OK, all my blogger followers that will be our goal for the work week. When we find ourselves stressed or sad do something healthy for yourself. After all the only thing worse than being dumped, is being dumped and feeling like a fatty, fat, fat.
Good lord I am done. I will probably read this blog in the morning and laugh at myself. No good can come from emotional blogging.
