why oh why :(

The first few days were tough but I stuck at it and ploughed on, I did my shift in work and what a shitty shift that was, customers were rude, I was tired and got emotional.

I get home from work and ate a kebab and chips, i didn't even enjoy it it was horrid, but now this morning im feeling even more emotional i think im angry with myself for caving in.

Why oh why did i eat that bloody crap

If you've been an emotional eater in the past you're mind is conditioned to tell you that upset emotions can be fixed with food. It's difficult to break that but you know that it doesn't work, you didn't enjoy the food and you felt worse after. I'm sure we've all done it. But you have to remember this occasion and use that to tell yourself that giving in and eating rubbish isn't going to help. Sticking to the diet and doing 10 minutes exercise will make you feel much better.

Don't beat yourself up though, you can't go back. So just move on and get back on it

I'm an emotional eater so I know how easy it is to slip up.My new tactic is to tell myself I canhave whatever it is but in 15 minutes...and then another 15 minutes...and another over and over again until the shop shuts/the craving passes/it's bedtime
