Immediately I felt like I wanted to got to a sit-down restaurant for a BIG breakfast.
The fact that I noticed this feeling is a wonder.
Ordinarily, before my new weight management outlook, I would have never thought about WHY I wanted to go eat...I would have just reacted by eating.
It was very irritating to feel this "NEED" to eat and not give into it. And I was already angry at myself about the little disagreement we had...here's how little it was...it is now 5 days later and I have NO IDEA what the spat was about!
Typical guy!
It was astounding to me to realize that these angry and irritating emotions immediately compelled me to go eat.
Old habits...very hard to resist, but I did somehow.
We get to the furniture store and find that they open at 10 am and not 9 am.
So we went to McDonald's.
Yep! Mickey D's.
Ordered a large coffee and put another protein shake in it. I decided that I needed fruit, so we stopped at a nearby store and picked up some apples and bananas and I ate one of each of those.
I had not planned out my snacks very well, I had not brought enough fruit along for the trip, but I fixed it.
My wife is very supportive and she loves me...and she allows for the fact that I'm a guy and sometimes I just cannot not be a guy!
Sigh...Smile...Grin!
We did have a really great weekend and purchased a much needed new bed to boot!
I learned to recognize ( a little bit) a reactive emotional eating temptation and actually dealt with it appropriately.
It is possible to change...which are some of the Heavy Thoughts that motivate me (usually) to Lighter Living!
