Its Been a While

Bad news, I gained back what I lost.
Good news, I didn't gain back more.

I think I have mentioned before, I am an emotional eater. I get frustrated and have a cookie, Depressed and eat ice cream. Angry and I eat 4 or 5 mini snickers. There is something very comforting about having a very full belly. Something therapeutic about chewing. A satisfaction in swallowing.

This fat that I put on serves a purpose. Its here for a reason and I believe that in order to lose it, I need to identify that need and satisfy it in a non caloric way. When I work through the issues that necessitate this form of coping, I don't think I will have a weight problem. I don't even expect to be emotionally healed at that time, just honest with myself about why I do what I do.
