Im very sorry that you had a bad lunch Mary :(
It really sounds like you handled it well. Emotional eating is such a challenge-and you didn't spiral out of control and you reigned it in for dinner and ate as well as you could given the circumstances. We can't always eat "perfect" but you ate "good enough." I think you should be proud-for me, situations like that are dangerous and can trigger a binge or a spiral into unhealthy eating.
Thank you for posting this! I think we can all relate and I like to hear about how other people handle these kinds of situations.
By the way, I've really been wanting to tell you that I think you are doing such an awesome job. You have the greatest program-the way you reward yourself for meeting behavioral goals (I'm a psychologist-I love that kind of thing) and how you handle hard situations. I just think you are an example for all of us and I want to let you know that I enjoy reading your posts.

Good job making up for it, and tomorrow is another day!
Did you get my email?

I can completely understand where your coming from - in fact from the looks of things on this board many women can. The need and desire to love and be loved right back is a powerful thing, it can make you feel like flying one day and running to the fridge (like I do) the next. But hon (and I know this will sound so corny so I apologize now) you have to start by loving yourself and seeing you for the amazing woman you are. The kindness that you show the people on this board is wonderful - you are a genuine, lovely person so please remember that.
And besides, one meal won't destroy the success you've had. The most important thing is that you recogized why you overate so you can learn from this and prepare yourself emotionally next time. And good for you for not letting it stop you!
Cheers
Lisa
