Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just got thru gobbling down the last of the M & Ms that I had sitting on my counter. I had just finished a sandwich which satisfied me, but I grabbed the M & Ms anyway. OK, why?!? Well, my hubby and I just had one of our little disputes. Not a ground shaking yeller or anything like that, just the same old frustration of him asking me about something, me telling him what I wanted, then his giving me grief over that. Like why ask if you don't want to do what you asked about?!? Grinding teeth - lol. Now that I see this, I am wondering if I would have grabbed those M & Ms otherwise? I know I often do something like this as a 'delaying' tactic - I'm not ready to get off the computer and do something I know I 'need' to do (don't you just love housework?!? lol) so eating is as good an excuse as any. The good news (for me) is that #1 I am seeing the connection pretty darn quickly instead of getting stuck in the WHY?!? of it. The second neat thing is that I still haven't wanted to 'dive' into the dark chocolate M & Ms that have been turning into a 'decorator item' for a couple of months now. Yea, they are probably stale and nasty tasting to begin with, but even though they are 'chocolate' I DON'T want them! (small victory dance).

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Isn't it funny that this kind of stuff still happens? I've been IEing since January 2007 and had a moment last night. I was aware that it was happening while it was happening, but didn't feel like stopping it. I couldn't tell whether I was upset (my hubby is having another kidney episode and is still in major denial about it, and I had an upsetting call with my mom on Saturday) or PMSing or both, but I ate NINE cookies, wanted more food but sat for an hour to see what I wanted, and then ate two whole packages of peanut butter cups (four cups in all!). I felt disgusting afterward (physically, not emotionally) but wasn't sorry I did it. I just thought, "Well, I still do this sometimes, I guess..." I think I'll find some quiet time today to process my feelings and feel them, since I did have this experience last night. It's been MONTHS since I've eaten sweets like that!
