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
