Day 11
Today was a bad day emotionally. Little things were setting me off. During the afternoon, I was extremely upset about some events of the day and hungry because of the insanity that became my lunch. I chose a Nutter Butter Bar for a snack after looking at my calorie count. I was originally going to eat both bars, but as I was eating the second bar, I realized that I was not eating just for hunger, but for emotions. I threw the second half of the second Nutter Butter Bar out. It was a difficult realization. I knew I ate to satisfy emotions, but not to the extent that I actually did. Food is my comfort when I am bored, upset, sad, anger, everything! During the rest of the night, I fought the urge to eat more junk food as I grew more restless and irritated as I was not satisfying the urge that I was use to satisfying in the past.
