[NSV] Emotional eating victory last night
I had a crummy day yesterday, got the can't-miss sign that the guy I like just isn't that into me, AKA bailing on our admittedly tentative plans to meet up with his hook up buddy (blech). Since all my close girlfriends who I'd talk to about how crummy I feel live far away, I was trying to find a way to make myself feel better. So I told myself that when I went to CVS to pick up some medicine, I'd buy some new nail polish and rent a movie and relax.
Wait, what? 3 months ago I would have ordered 3 Chinese take out meals and let the MSG drown my sorrows until I felt sick, bloated, and worse than when I started.
I bought my nail polish (my nails look fab today, in case you were wondering), I went home, made a 3 egg omelette (my new version of binge eating), watched 22 Jump Street, did a mani/pedi, and called it a night.
No self-destructive behavior. No relying on food to fill me up emotionally.
And I regretted that third egg later that night when I was fuller than I usually am, but I felt a lot better about it than I would have felt about Chinese take out. :)
I know this is probably a "no-duh" for people, but my whole life has been emotions + food, and this is the first time in my life I've felt so in control of myself. I seriously love keto!

Way to go on making healthy choices for yourself in the face of adversity!
My house was burglarized on Monday and I got a irreparable flat tire last night. Eff this week and it's only Wednesday. But I still stuck to eating keto-friendly foods.
Yay us!
