It also helps that i am ok with saying no. I use to feel guilty saying no. i was one of "those" kids who grew up in a family who had to live off of what we could get. food bank, cheap food (mac'n' cheese, top raman), we had to get creative with what little we had and you didn't waste your food. at my grandparents house it was the "Clean Plate Club". If you never have heard of that, it means you eat ALL your dinner then you can have desert. another reason not to waste food because i LOVED desert!!!!
So back to my orig. though.... stress. I am an emotional eater, i know this. so now i have finally gotten to the point where i know what my triggers are and what to stay away from when i feel that urge coming on. Me personally i have to hide. i hide myself from those things when i feel the stress cravings. like today for example- the other one of the offices that i have to go into on occasion, and try to avoid because they always have food, had frosted animal cookies. they are my fave. but i said to myself..... just say no! just like the drug campaign Nancy Reagan started in the 80s. even the Ritz crackers and Peanut butter that they always have in the break room.... just say no!!!
knowing what sets me off and what i need to do to stay away from that situation of me ruining all my hard work is a challenge everyday, but it has gotten easier to some extent. next challenge is socializing while being mindful of my triggers.
If you haven't noticed i have been putting lolcat.com pics up...... couldn't find a good one to go with today's topic so i chose this funny one, enjoy!
