Today has been my worst eating day in two months. I am doing crazy eating and wondering why. I can only hope that tomorrow will be better.
Being honest, I think several things came into play.
One is the "might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb" syndrome. For those whose parents didn't come from the south, that means if you are in the red zone, might as well be really red -- and not just a little pink. So once I fell off the diet, I figured I might as well eat anything I wanted.
I am not claiming this is logical. Or even sensible.
Another contributing factor that I cannot deny (even if I try with both hands) is emotional eating. I know I do not feel 100% emotionally and I am sure I am turning to food as my drug of choice.
Is there a lurking feeling of deprivation? Am I thinking that I am missing something by sticking to my diet plan? If so, I am wrong. The junk I ate today was not nearly as good as the food I have been eating.
I'll tell you, the mind is a strange place.
Maybe I need a sponsor.
