Yay! I let myself have what I wanted and didn't binge!

[Guest guest]

Ah, macaroni and cheese. THE comfort food that tops all comfort

foods. Well, for me at least. Has always been one of my favorite

foods of all time, and has recently been a food I struggle to

legalize. I made some last night because what DIDN'T I make to eat

last night, and I had some left over. I kept seeing it in the fridge

all day today and kept saying no.

Well, tonight I went downstairs for a snack and I was feeling kind of

anxious. I knew I really wanted the peanut butter granola bars I had

bought today, and then I saw the mac and cheese. Panic sets in. I

get shakey. I tell myself to shut up and put it in the microwave. I

proceed to eat it. I realize that I still want the peanut butter

granola bars and that the macaroni and cheese wasn't all that

satisfying, so I dumped a large majority of it in the sink, had a few

more bites just to make sure I didn't want any more, dumped the rest

and grabbed the granola bars I originally wanted.

So not totally IE as I didn't listen to any hunger/fullness signals,

but I DID pay attention to my wants and satisfaction levels and I'm

totally happy now. Well, almost happy. I'm going to make myself some

hot chocolate and THEN I'll be happy.

Positivity. The opposite of my attitude yesterday. This feels SO

much better!
