Stress and Deep Fried Oreos = Disaster

Hi, my name is Amy and I am an emotional eater.



I would literally do anything to change this statement but sadly I think it's something I just need to deal with.  With graduating soon, my stress levels have been OVER THE TOP.  I mean literally straight to the moon, over the atmosphere types of stress. I have literally submitted hundreds of resumes and have one call back.  Did I mention it's for my dream job? I should find out by the end of the week whether or not I am still in the running.  So needless to say, I am a wreck thinking of all the possibilities.  Instead of journaling my emotions or calling a friend to talk it out, I deep fried oreos last night.  I had never tried this before but I heard it was good.  I had ate really well the earlier part of the day so the little devil on my shoulder assured me a few bites wouldn't hurt.  A couple oreos later I now felt the same level of stress and a lingering guilt. Were they good? Ohhhh yeah. Were they worth the calories? No, not at all.

I did work out yesterday to the JM's kettlebell workout which goes in the plus column for the day, I suppose.  I have ate decently today but haven't worked out.  My legs are hurting pretty bad so I am taking the day off for "muscle repair".  No everyone I am not quitting, I just know my limitations.  Tomorrow will be a new day and hopefully I will have some great news to report.  Either way life will still go on and the weight will still be there to conquer.  I really need to start keeping my emotions in check though.  Otherwise I am going to end up being the fat lady with crumbs all on her shirt and oreo filling residing on the corners of her mouth.
