I know I’m an emotional eater. I had a pretty tough day today with work and then got some bad news at the doctors office (not even bad news, the dr was a total asshole and is invalidating my concerns)
So now I’m finally home and I wan to stuff my face with pizza.
Help. I’m probably gonna go cry soon because I want to eat pizza but I know it’s not gonna make me feel better and I need to stick it out.
Update: locked myself in my room, have been watching tik toks. Haven’t succumbed to the pizza.
I am so sorry. I know how it feels when someone makes you feel your concerns aren’t valid. But you know eating junk isn’t a solution, you are only going to feel even more shitty afterwards. Try to do something else to distract yourself…drink a chamomile tea, read a good book, watch a favourite movie, take a relaxing bath or a nap…just do something comforting other than eating. This will pass and the junk food isn’t going anywhere.
Try some 4/7/8 breathing (YouTube) or any breathing really. Good job on the door lock and tick tok videos! I have a friend who is a preschool teacher who has her kids dance to shake it off whenever they’re upset. Works!💕
