Monday Fasting... Repairs...

I had a mini binge yesterday.. It was one of those insatiable cravings for sweet... I ate "tiny" corn muffins (4-5), a cereal bar, watermelon, almond milk, cheese, ham, and dinner - broccoli (ala Barefoot Contessa), and a baked sweet potato with butter and sour cream. I was not in control; I was stuffed full and felt like crap. It has been a while since I've acted like this.

My teens are both being teens and my mood is horrible. After a being rejected for a professional development opportunity at work, disappointed with my diet, and feeling generally overwhelmed at home, I was pretty closed to losing it Saturday and wondering if  a depressive episode was trying to invade my space... I can't let that happen so I'm taking necessary steps...

First, I scheduled acupuncture and massage Wednesday after spin. I'm getting outside with the dog for a nice long walk or run, fasting today until 2 today and planning a healthy late lunch and light dinner. I'm going to do my best to just go to bed tonight if the urge to eat hits.

For now I'll take it ONE DAY AT A TIME and see if I can get it together.

I'll get through this.
