View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day
I don't have much to say today. Wasn't sure I was going to blog at all but I figured I'd give an update. I had a good day with food

The only slip up was tonight my husband brought home gluten free pretzels, which are higher in fat and calories than the wheat kind you all can eat and consider a healthy snack (do I sound a little jealous?). I was truly hungry but I wish I'd made a better choice.
And I'm feeling down about my marriage again. My husband was really, really crabby today and it pissed me off. I asked what his problem is and of course, he said he didn't know. When he was just so obnoxiously rude to me, I told him he's better cut it out right now. I'm not putting up with it. And I went into the kitchen. (Doing that is so hard for me.)
But my sister (I talked to her later) said I should ask him what his problem is and tell him to figure it out instead of taking it out on me. Don't just tell him to stop because that is getting me nowhere. So I will try that, but I'm glad that I am opening my mouth and saying something and not being a doormat.

Another victory is that i didn't eat over it. Well, unless the pretzels were part of it. Don't know. But it wasn't bad at any rate.
Sorry if you are tired of hearing me complain about my marriage. But it is one of the major issues that makes me turn to food for comfort.
I think I'm going to read a few pages of a novel and go to bed. Until tomorrow.

If you ate pretzels because you were truly hungry, like you said, then you weren't emotional eating. So you had a GREAT food day.

:clap: Good for you! I'm really glad that you are standing up for yourself with Mr. Crabbypants (that's what I call my girls when they are crabby too ... ha ... but without the Mr! I guess when you act like a child you get the juvenile title!) I have noticed something -- the last few times that you have stood up for yourself have been times that you did not overeat in response to the way he was treating you. But when you are silent about it, you retreat to the food .... So, I think it is extremely important that you stand up for yourself and also that you continue to blog about it. Do not apologize for talking about it here. That is the purpose of this blog. One thing I have found (like yesterday) is I can say some things here I don't feel comfortable saying to other people. This is a very therapeutic way of working things out in your head. Please don't stop.
