I let myself get so angry and wrapped up at work that I ended up stress-eating, no stress-shoveling nuts into my face. I'm not proud. Last night, I spent time reading the first chapter of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat. It made so much sense to me. And, now I turned around and did this. Clearly, I should have finished the book in one setting. I actually thought to myself today...on probably the 50th pistachio (it's amazing how quickly I can crack those little boogers when I'm angry) and well before I started throwing down almonds, "Are you really hungry? Why are you eating this?" And, I mindfully, angrily ate straight away. My inner fattie told that little voice to shut the heck up and I kept on shoveling it in. So, now....here is the cycle. GUILT. Oh yes. I didn't need those nuts. Those nuts didn't make my work problem go away. Interesting I chose nuts, isn't it? Since I felt a little nuts myself as I went into a rage. This profession does a number on me. I have my own anger management issues to deal with, but the adversity of people with whom I do "business" tends to light my butt on fire. I should have taken a walk. Maybe even a jog. I should have spent some time erecting a punching bag in the corner of my office...or a dart board on which I could plaster photos of the adverse people. But no, I sat down and proceeded to write the most hateful of letters (this is what is expected in my job by the way...all too often), while cracking pistachios in between key strokes. GAHHHH! Thank God I stopped before I accessed the "protein bars" I keep stowed for when I am too busy at work to eat lunch, but feel like I'm starving... And, there is an upside I suppose: I don't have a single pistachio left in my office.

LOLOL, 2MC. I know what you mean. Strong feelings, no matter what they are make a lot of us on here turn to food to *brighten the experience*. I wonder if you chose nuts because you weren't 100% committed to giving up... after all, so many sources still list them as "healthy" -- and of course they are, but not in mass quantities. Anyway, blow off half the cycle: Skip the guilt. Go a little lighter on the calories the next 3 days (maybe 100 less a day than usual) and boom, it's like it never happened. No worries. Sorry your job is so tough. I know how that is too... I have to work tonight, even though I started at 9 this morning. Ugh! Keep smiling! You'll conquer this and so much more!

Awwww bless your heart...but this was funny...I have been there and done that so many times...hang in there...Bren...:O)

Thank you all for the comments. Rob, I chose the nuts because they were the closest thing to me to eat without having to leave my office. I wish I could have come up with some more noble reason, but I would have consumed anything at that moment I am sure. I have calmed some and am still within my RDI since I fortunately ran out before I engorged myself anymore.

Hah! I understand. And I agree with Bren... I was chuckling, reading this. Glad you didn't blow your RDI!
