Emotional Eating Crisis Averted

Day 24

Today was a very challenging day professionally and emotionally. After a particularly stressful morning, I agreed to meet a friend for lunch. My head was killing me and I was so tempted to order the Steak Chili at Panera, which I know is 15 points. I abstained.

Instead, I ordered the Pick 2 - 1/2 Sierra Turkey sandwich (no cheese), garden vegetable soup, and a bag of chips as a side. The Veggie soup was not good. No matter how much I try to like it, I just don't. So, I ate the 1/2 sandwich and the bag of chips. Total points - 9

At any rate, here's how my day played out meal wise:

M1: Protein Shake - 4 pts
M2: 1/2 Sierra Turkey Sandwich and chips - 9 pts
M3: Tall Skinny Mocha and mini vanilla scone - 6 points
M4: Pinto Beans Cornbread and Oven "fried" Chicken Nuggets (from scratch) 10 points
M5: Cornbread and a glass of milk - 6 points

Total Points - 34 . One to spare!

This day could have gone in such a different way. My eating did lean toward the "comfort" side of life. But, I managed to stay within my points and not emotionally overeat. BIG BIG success.

Cheers!
