Today was okay. I won’t give myself as much kudos as yesterday. I never thought I was an emotional eater, but I am beginning to think that I am ….just in a mild form. I did not cheat, but I saw myself reaching for food when I wasn’t hungry and when I was upset. Food is such a weird type of comfort. It sneaks up on you, and when you think about it …..it never really satisfies you. I can see how people (or even me at times) could just eat themselves into oblivion, and really never feel full especially emotionally. Seems like the worse kind of consequences result in this type of behavior too.

I was not hungry in the morning at all, so I messed up by waiting and eating “breakfast” at 10:30 a.m. I went to work out at 1:30 p.m., which is really too late for me. I was starving when I was done working out and my stomach had some sick hunger pains….which didn’t make my workout that enjoyable. On the bright side that may have been good for my body and meant that I could have been burning fat! Let’s hope. I am even more bloated today and can feel myself getting thicker by the day….don ‘t know what is up with that.
