I journaled all that I ate and drank the next day and figured out and wrote down all of my triggers that I could think of. Just some things that I've tried to map out so that maybe this won't happen again.

I am going to do this. I think maybe if I can do this that it'll be easier for me to stay within the limits of what I need to be eating.
The meeting I went to last night, Celebrate Recovery, is actually a meeting my husband attends for addiction to xanax but they focus on all sorts of addiction. It is a Christian based recovery program. Last night some of the recovering alcoholic/addicts talked about the little voice in the back of your head that urges us to do things we know we shouldn't. They talked about placing that voice in captivity. Keeping the thought in your head but not letting it overwhelm you. I enjoyed last nights meeting, not only does it apply to my codependecy issues but also to my eating habits.
I hope I'll be able to do that from now on. I did it this morning. I had a DR. appointment because somehow I've managed to get bronchitis to go along with my allergies and on the way back i so wanted to stop at Burger King and get a crossanwich. I placed the voice in captivity and told myself that that's all it was, a voice. I'm not really hungry, I don't need to eat that.
I hope this works.....
