popped!!!


I am IN LOVE with these potato chips and cannot stop eating them...Im just sayin...

I especially love the salt and pepper flavor. And they are better for you than regular chips as well as the diet detective can tell you here. However, they are probably not as good for me personally since I have NO SELF CONTROL when it comes to these chips! It has nothing to do with emotional eating I swear! They are just DANG GOOD!

Confessions of an emotional eater


I just read an interesting article post about emotional overeating and how to stop. While reading it, I realized that I have been kidding myself when Ive denied being an emotional eater myself. This is because I think of emotional eating as overeating when you are depressed or sad as a comfort mechanism. Which, in my own defense, is usually how it is described in most articles I've read regarding emotional eating.

I had my last day at my old job last night and went out for a celebratory drink with my coworkers. I ate a ton of food. Dinner, a sugary drink, and an entire brownie sundae BY MYSELF (hell no I don't share my sweets). Then after reading this article today, I have concluded that yes I AM an emotional over eater, BUT I overeat when I am HAPPY - not when I'm depressed. I overeat when I'm out with friends...I'm usually having fun and happy. I overeat at parties. I overeat on vacation. etc. I do not overeat when I'm sad - actually I eat very little, but what I do eat is not so healthy - ya know like chips and beer for dinner :( .And that's it. AND I tend to be very inactive when I'm sad as well. I also eat sweets a lot at night because I feel like it defines me as a southerner. "a true southerner eats a sweet with every meal y'all" That isn't a sad feeling to me - that's a proud, happy feeling.

SOOO... I guess this has opened my eyes a little. As I am trying to lose fat and gain muscles currently, hopefully this realization will help me over the next few months in my endeavor to become a hott wife for when Evan comes home!

Happy 4th of July!!!


Yep here I am - up WAAAYYYY too late at night doing what? Talking to you! Or am I talking to myself? Or to the computer? Maybe all three. I know I know Im DEEP.

So the fourth of July was pretty cool. I hung out with John and Jess and all of their out-of-towner friends for the night. I ate a gazillion of Jess's stuffed mushrooms, which I can NEVER get enough of when Im over there. I actually got to hang a lil with Zoe their baby girl who seems to always be in bed already when I come over (do I work until that late at night? (UHM YES YES I do) And I got my first Zoe MUAH kiss which was pretty cool since I have a knack for making most children cry. No fireworks though since Burlington had their fireworks the week before apparently during its berry dairy day. Probably better in the long run since I would have missed Evan terribly. I love to watch the fireworks each year. I have always found that watching them with Evan is incredibly romantic and makes me feel safe and loved and part of a family. So to watch them when he is away is complete and utter torture for me.

Today I had some friends from work over to have my Chicken Parmesan, which is the only thing I can make decently. Of course tonight it didnt seem to turn out quite right. It was too spicy and the sauce was kinda runny. I dont know - I was disappointed. Dawn and Carolyn said it was good, but I wasnt convinced since they didnt eat all of it. sigh - maybe next time. I always want to be a better cook, but I dont really find it interesting to learn about cooking. That doesnt really go together.

This week is my final week at my second job. It hasnt really been a good fit for me these past two months, and my old boss has offered for me to come back full time. Im very happy about that! I will have a slightly different schedule than before and will be working wed evening instead of morning. Im actually looking forward to the new schedule! BUT I still have to get through two more days at the other place before I start that. I feel kinda bad leaving some of my new co-workers, but I will be soooooo much happier going back 'home' to Evergreen!
