Mental Meltdown

I had a mental meltdown tonight…I am trying to recover…As an emotional eater I struggle when times like this happen and I ate a HUGE bowl of air popped popcorn with canola oil drizzled over it…a slice of carrot cake…some cookies…some peanut butter cups.

Now I feel sick. I think I am glad I feel sick.

Tomorrow is a new day and I will not only strength train…but go for an extra long walk and do a few 10 minute dance DVD’s throughout the day.

Tomorrow is a new day and I am going to get a good night sleep and wake up to a new day…refreshed…ready to take it on!

  1. Trish, our whole lives we have allowed other people to define us. This happens no more. Today is a brand new day. Do not allow meaningless people and their little campaigns to define who you are. Most people are on the web to make money and they do not care who they step on to get what they want. You are so above and beyond that. Each day you can look in the mirror and know that you DID NOT sell out to a sponsor or a company marketing their product. Living a life with integrity and purpose is all we need to do. It is the RIGHT thing to do. Hang in there. I am here for you - whatever you need.

  3. Aw Trish, sorry to hear you had a set back....at least it's temporary and you recognize it for what it is....just a stumble.

    It's funny how we tend to try to self sabotage ourselves at such critical points in our journeys.

    I'm here for you if you ever need me! Keep up the great work, and don't put too much pressure on yourself!

  4. I remember one of my meltdowns happened at the grocery store. For some reason, I ended up in the candy aisle. It was fine until I spotted the kisses. As I kept walking, I started seeing in my head all these little bright numbers on top of the wrappers listing the calories, fat, sugar, etc. It was crazy, I think I went home and got rid of my food journal and... well, we know how those stories always end.

    But you're right, tomorrow IS another day! That's the best part, e/morning is a new life. I should get some dance DVD's, it wouldn't hurt to learn how to dance :) Best of luck!
