Something I have learned about myself over the years is that I eat for comfort. I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm not even hungry. It's just...well, how I am. I'm not saying it's healthy, I'm just saying. The challenge is to make the right choices when I do eat.
Today is election day and there is a measure on the ballot (Measure 5) that I am really passionate about and I want it to pass. So today might be a bad day for eating for me. It is a measure to support conservation in North Dakota and it is necessary to keep our outdoors, water and communities healthy. So, until the polls close and we know the results, I may be on edge and putting things in my mouth that aren't necessarily the best. Or I may just over eat. At least I am aware of it right?
So I will stay away from my triggers, which shouldn't be too hard since I don't have any in the house. Oh wait, there is that Halloween candy and I did get some fun size 3 Musketeers bars half off at the store last night. I'm in trouble.
No weight this morning.
