I am struggling a bit right now. I am coming off a few days of wreck-less eating where I ignored my body and fed it terrible food. I am definitely paying the price for those bad choices today. I feel like crap, I am so cranky and I just can’t seem to get it together. I did do a better job with my food choices today but some normal life stressors definitely tempted me to continue my wreck-less behavior. I am such an emotional eater and when any little thing goes wrong I immediately turn to food for comfort. I did not get the chance to go to the supermarket this weekend because the children and I spent the weekend in Pennsylvania with my BFF Michele and her lovely family. I did not get home until about 7:00PM last night and I could not get myself motivated enough to go to the supermarket. This is why I ended up at the supermarket after work today. I was so proud of myself for leaving work on time and heading straight to Shoprite before I got the children from the babysitters house. I ended up however leaving a bag at the supermarket and it was filled with meat, particularly the ground turkey meat that I needed for dinner tonight. I did not realize it until I started to make dinner. I was so angry and frustrated because I was hoping to get dinner done quickly so that I can spend some quality time with my children. Instead of that I had to go all the way back to the supermarket to get the meat and it was not my local supermarket it was the one completely out of the way. When I arrived at the supermarket I informed the courtesy desk that I had forgotten my meat and they suggested I pick out new meat products. I really didn’t feel like doing this and was hoping someone kept my bag of meat somewhere. I found the cashier that checked me out and she told me a manager had put my entire bag of meat in the refrigerator. I was really hoping this was the case but none of the managers could locate my bag of meat, so I had to go and pick everything out again. After picking out my meat for a second time I just happened to make my way back to the courtesy desk to check out again via the candy isle and I was tempted to grab some candy to make me ”feel better.” We all know that candy is the last thing I need and that it is only going to make me feel worse in the long run but my childish emotions still crave candy for instant gratification when I am feeling angry and frustrated.
Well I resisted the candy temptation so hopefully and can regroup here. I am glad that we now have what we need from the supermarket for the rest of the week. I will get up early tomorrow to cook so that I am not stuck doing it after work which I can’t stand. We have a few little road trips planned for the remainder of the summer so I hope to do better staying yeast free on those trips.
Be well,
Tennille
