Stress Eating - Doing it... kinda right

(Danielle) #1

My husband was being an ass. He made me angry. I wanted to eat a pint of ice cream. I got a pint of Raspberries instead. Did I eat the entire pint… Yes, Yes I did.

lol at myself… 37 grams of carbs. Maybe I didn’t do it right!!! Oh well.

Yes, some habits are hard to break, even after a long time on keto maintenance. Instead of feeling pissed and just being uncomfortable in the moment, or speaking up… we turn to our old numbing friend; food.

I could have been worse. Much worse. Talking about it helps. Many can relate. Thanks for sharing.

It was a good switch, don’t beat yourself up.

Maybe next time go for a walk instead though, will help you to find better ways of coping.

100% should have done that. I’ll try to remember that next time…

Walk and if you need food, some nice keto food? If you don’t, some nice keto drink?
I would hate to eat raspberries just because I am stressed :frowning: I want to eat them when and because I want to eat them :wink:

But you didn’t do so bad. Your poor health and well-being surely got a bigger hit from being stressed so I hope you enjoyed your raspberries… (I would have added chocolate too. Especially if I had the strength of eating raspberries and not bananas and sour cherries. Though I ate quite little of them even before carnivore… I love raspberries but I love the mentioned fruits more and used them on keto all the time. It was so long ago, my woe was drastically different and contained 10 times more carbs than now.)

But walks are really great. Maybe something more intense, they supposed to work well with anger and frustration. I rarely have that and I never eat from stress. (I eat a lot, almost no matter what to begin with. Only serious stress and feeling bad can turn off all my desire to eat for a while. Though it makes me care less about things, I follow my whims even easier then so a moderate stress may be bad if my habits and taste didn’t change enough. I wish to eat ice cream but I just can’t desire it the slightest since I tried carnivore… I can eat way worse things but not my wonderful low-carb ice cream. Oh well.)

Sorry I wrote too much of myself, I tend to do that. This forum is so nice and soothing for me…

It’sa big step forward, you should be proud of yourself. I like it when we can step aside and see what we did and why. Raspberries are a good choice for a binge. 37g is nothing really
