First the temptation = a whole grocery store!!!
Second the lesson = I can overcome being hurt and upset without food. I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head....from chocolate to cookies to diet soda to chips but INSTEAD I decided I would only be hurting ME and I am on this journey for ME so why hurt ME?! I sat and read a book for over an hour before I vacated my car. Then I saw a Dollar General and thought maybe they would carry the non food item I wanted and they did so I bypassed the grocery store all together!!
Third the other lesson = call a friend, read a book, text somebody, just do something besides giving into emotional eating!
onward and downward.........

GREAT job!!! You conquered the monster!!
Too funny. I was at the store today and passed the chocolates and sweets deciding I would pick up something at the checkout. I ran to get in line in front of a bunch of other people and guess what-no treats at the cash. Bummer-I wasn't going to leave the long line to go get a "treat" so went home empty handed. Good for me there was a line and the junk food is gone from the checkout. You are right-sometimes the thinking helps.
Good for you.. I call that a breakthrough!!
great strategy - way to overcome :)
