I had a long and toxic day at work yesterday (again). There seems to be far too many of them recently.
Long story short - I didn't finish work til gone half 7, and I was tired and fed up on the way home, so I stopped and picked up a takeaway. Just chow mein and some prawn crackers. I had the points but, same old story, when I'm really hungry I get full really quickly. Did I stop when I was satisfied? Hell no! Did I keep going til I felt fairly sick? Err, yes.
I didn't actually finish all the crackers but I felt horrible after, and this morning too. I still haven't learned that lesson, and I'm disappointed in myself for not making better choices.
Why didn't I stop?
Why did I even bother with the takeaway when I didn't really crave it at all?
Tell me I'm not the only one!

I think it's all to do with the stress and effort of a massive day at work - you feel you deserve a break and/or a treat as you've worked so hard. So .. shouldn't have to cook ergo takeaway and we also tend to see takeaway as a reward since no effort is required. All absolute crap I know but our minds (at least mine - and it sounds like yours too) don't work that way. Anyway damage contained for you - well done - and tomorrow is another day. Zxx
Definitely not the only one!
Awww hun,
I know that feeling, I do it all the time, I have Chinese food last night and ate way more than I should have done
