Are you an emotional eater?

@PoetryNEmotion As I age, I'm slowly learning this. The older we get and as our cycles of life change, we have to find new ways to adapt. Definitely nothing that we were taught in school or in our childhood. Finding a balance is certainly difficult.

@PerfectIllusion I hope you believe in you.

@PoetryNEmotion Thank you. Its all part of the learning process. Im trying.

@SW-User Thank you! I definitely agree. Today is a new day and I've done better. Just have to keep going from here. 😊

@PassingThrough McDonald's will do that to you! 🤣

@Isthisit 🤣

@PerfectIllusion if it’s in my cabinets it’s tough to ignore.

@BiasForAction so true! That's why I typically dont buy this junk...lol

@PerfectIllusion 👍 I’m with you there

@Carissimi You have more discipline than I.

@Carissimi thats smart. If its not in the house then there is no temptation!

No. It’s because I have no discipline is the reason I won’t have it in the house. Out of sight, out of mind. 😉 I treat myself a few times a year, like my birthday, and some holidays, then I will buy it. @PhoenixPhail

@Thevy29 lol, I understand!

@DearAmbellina2113 I guess I have my moments when I indulge instead. Thankfully, I do have a little self control and its not often.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I cant take you anywhere 🙄

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout uh huh...I see what you did there. 🤣

@Wiseacre Eh, I guess I do occasionally.

@PerfectIllusion always happy to spread fun and laughter 😂

@Ambroseguy80 this place needs more of that. 😊

@PerfectIllusion yes it does. 😌

@Morrowind Congratulations on breaking the cycle and losing weight. I know its not easy!

@PerfectIllusion ty I won’t say I was huge (I was overweight and only needed to lose 50 pounds which I did) but that was extremely difficult and I learned my lesson. I got an eating disorder over it too

@Morrowind Food can be a terrible addiction and definitely one that's hard to overcome. It takes a lot of hard work and determination...its great that you learned a lesson and hopefully were able to overcome your eating disorder. I'm struggling trying to stay within a calorie deficit and tracking macros.

@PerfectIllusion she sings what many of us feel.

@DarkHeaven im not familiar with her. I'll have to look her up.

@PerfectIllusion 🖤🤗

@Viper I love Salt and Vinegar chips too. I havent had any in a long time! Haha..dont indulge! You'll regret it like I am.

@PerfectIllusion My problem with that brand (usually don't.like them, other than their Salt and Vinegar) is once I start, I don't stop... bag goes empty.

And it's like too much salt and vinegar at once, but it tasted so good.

You can always try to fill up on water instead 9f food

@Viper thats kind of what happened tonight with the crackers. Except they werent even that good. I just kept eating to soothe my soul, I guess.

I dont think that's a brand they sell here.

@metaldog I exercise 6 days a week and its a great outlet to combat the stress. I guess I'm just in the feels tonight.

@PerfectIllusion thank god I love to exercise cause I love to eat lol hope you're feeling better soon, those low times really suck 🤗

@metaldog I know the feeling. Exercise is so beneficial in so many ways and helps curb the calories. Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. 🤗

@Iwillwait I remember those! I havent seen them in stores in a long time.

@PerfectIllusion probably took them off the shelves due to being poisonous.

@Iwillwait you might have a good point!

@SageWanderer definitely anything that can distract from the fridge is a good thing. 🤣

@Queendragonfly Cinnamon buns are so good! I wish I lost my appetite when I'm upset or sad. Thats when I indulge the most and then I feel guilty!

@Barny52 and then I feel miserable from eating too much!

@Ghostinthemachine smarty pants. 🤣

@PerfectIllusion 🤓

@Tminus6453 Its been forever since Ive had them too. They happened to catch my eye at the store today. Such a bad idea. 🤣

@Stillwaiting I guess we learn a lot along the way. If they only taught better nutrition in school!

@deadteddy ice cream! 🤤 Its the best!

@fun4us2b I wish I could sleep when my emotions are crazy. My brain wont stop!

@TheOrionbeltseeker emotional instability causes this for me. 😔

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout yes, but u didn't answer q

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout 😅

@JohnOinger he looks cute but intimidating...I'll pass.

@PhoenixPhail it sucks to have that addiction!

@Torsten thats just as bad except it numbs the pain!

@PerfectIllusion never claimed it was good health wise haha. its just good after a long stressful day. I am not a overall big eater, so alcohol it is for me

@Torsten it might be my go to this weekend!

@Degbeme I havent any since I made this post. I think the whole damn box made me sick. 🤣

@SalttyDawg 🤦‍♀️

@Spumoni yes me too. Pumpkin Delights are out now and those are my weakness!

@Nevaeh0081 🤷‍♀️

@SW-User the scale didnt look too appetizing when I stepped on it this morning. 🤣

@SW-User im trying! Only got a 3 mile walk in today before it started pouring the rain.
