Heck we have events that surround these emotions - birthdays, anniversaries, births and deaths, weddings, graduations, and the list goes on and on. But if you do it because someone upset you just want to beat the manufacturer who came up with chips, cookies, cakes, pies, ice cream, candy and anything else that is inevitably bad for you. I am the queen of self destruction some days. When those craving hit, nothing is safe. No matter how much I can try to say, 'Now, you really don't need that', that little demon sits on my shoulder saying 'why not one won't hurt.' One turns into two which turns into many. I've tried chewing gum, it helps the sweet craving sometimes but does little else for the salty craving or the carb craving. I use to stop at McDonalds on the way home and eat a kids meal before I got home and would stop so I could dispose of the evidence. Those were really bad days. I still have bad days, I do a bit better but sometimes I just give in. Sometimes I go home and watch tv shows like My 600 lb Life to help put things back into perspective. Then I throw everything away.
