Hunger Past the Point of Reason

Good morning Friends,

I told myself that I would use my blog as a tool to keep myself accountable, manage my feelings and to seek the ears of those in my shoes. Today I am just going to empty my mind.

This morning when I got off work, I had a TON of errands to run. Unfortunately for me, I am the designated errand runner because I am "off" rather I should be sleeping, when everything is open. By 10AM, 2 hours after I left work, I was so hungry that I would have eaten almost anything. I am doing a great job at eating every 3 hours on my shift, which is what the experts say is good for losing weight and keeping a good metabolism going, but unfortunately for me at the end of those 3-4 hours, I am starving. I don't know if the smaller meals are the culprit, or just the fact that my body is getting used to the cycle. I don't know, that sounds crazy. Of course my body doesn't know what time it is! The point here is that I did the worst thing that you can do when you're as tired as I was, mixed with the hunger....I went grocery shopping. I went to Whole Foods because they have a couple things that no one else does. If you've ever been to Whole Foods you also know that they have a killer buffet and prepared foods counter. They also have my ultimate weakness fresh from the oven: pizza. So you know what I did? After going to the gym this week, and watchin the calories all week...I bought a slice. WHY PIZZA? I was in friggin WHOLE FOODS for cryin out loud! I had plenty of better choices to make. I was so pissed off at myself  that I couldn't even finish it. I wonder why such a negative connection was made. I guess I should say that I wonder why the negative feelings are always so automatic when eating something not as nutritious as another choice could have been. All I want to do is take better care of myself. Then why do I keep fighting myself? I obviously set myself up this morning.

Oh well, I suppose I better tack on a new component to the plan, and that would be to always have better choices on hand....and the obvious....NEVER GO GROCERY SHOPPING HUNGRY! 

So on with my life...

It was a wrong choice, because now I will be over a calorie budget for the day. It is done. I will drop it and move forward. Still stinks, but it is what it is.

Thanks for listening :-)

My Question For You: How do you move forward after an unhealthy eating choice? Or how have you come to terms with the negative feelings?
