Grouchy People Drain My Happyness

Man! Have you ever been around someone who is grouchy or unhappy? Do you let it affect your day? And here is the million dollar question: Do you let it affect your eating habits?

So, today I was around someone unhappy and I really wanted to go get some gooey chocolate something or another. But, luckily I recognized that it wasn't my problem. So, why am I going to let someone else's attitude affect my attitude? I can still be positive and upbeat. And why have I let people affect my eating habits in the past? I could just kick myself in the butt! 

Yes, it used to be that when I was around negativity, I would find something sweet to eat. That is probably a borderline eating disorder. At least I knew that I wasn't fixing the problem, but I was just making myself feel a little better. I didn't have to eat a lot, but I did want a little something sweet.

Now, I am going to tell myself something different: If someone near me is grouchy. Leave. Maybe not physically, but mentally at least. Their unhappiness is not my unhappy! And surely, if I want something sweet, I can always have a small portion of diet soda and gum. If necessary, for a strong sweet tooth I remember Marie Osmond said she would have a teaspoon of honey. I would gag, but if you like honey it might be worth a try!

And please join me in being happy in spite of all the negativity in the world around us! We can be happy even without an 800 calorie dessert. ;D
