Emotions and Eating

Posted on | January 30, 2005 | 2 Comments

I let myself get a bit upset today and didn’t deal with it too well.
When trying to deal with the mixed up feelings and disappointment I decided to be constructive and go for a hike. It had been quite nice out when I was out in the morning, so I dressed appropriately – shorts and a t-shirt. By the time I got to Squaw Peak, however, it was evident that I had made yet another poor choice and would be getting quite a chill. I decided to go for it anyway, figuring that if I walked fast enough I would warm up. It was funny to watch the serious hikers, though, in their hiking boots and multiple layers, as I skipped by in my little pink shorts and pink t-shirt (yeah, I looked a bit like Hiker Barbie^®) Thirty minutes later I had enough and headed back to my car to warm up.
And then realized I hadn’t eaten anything all day (that half glass of chocolate milk doesn’t really count) so I had to stop. Right ?!?! I had just gotten some exercise so it would be OK. Right ?!?!
So I stopped.
At Los Compadres (which Rachel and Lori are familiar with).
For a machaca burro. And a sarsparilla. And Sopapillas.
I should know better than to get near a restaurant when I am sad – willpower-be-gone….completely. Guess I’ll be doing some extra workouts this week – if I can ever move again.
Too much food, too fast
