YOU GUYS.
I think I beat the Binge Monster.
Even if just one time, that’s saying something.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping. I was in a rush. It was almost dinner time. I had three kids with me. They were hungry. I was not thinking clearly or straight because I was REALLY hungry, because I had missed lunch, because I had been eyebrows deep in numbers for six hours, because work, because “the SBA loan refi needs to be done two weeks ago.” I was wrung out.
I put milk, eggs, cheese, meat, meat, vegetables, meat, vegetables, fruit, and more vegetables in the cart. Then I looked at my list.
On my grocery list was “black licorice.” (Gross.) It was not for me, it was for The Mister. Mostly mindless, I pushed my kid-loaded-full-of-vegetables cart down the candy and cookie aisle.
You see where this is going, I bet.
Hungry + Tired + Stressed + Candy-Cookie-Aisle = TROUBLE.
Even for someone that is not bulimic, that’s a recipe for bad choices.
