1. I am an emotional eater.
I ate half a cobbler yesterday as I worked feverishly on an upcoming event. Half a cobbler. Ridiculous. I think I was a little stressed.
I’ve also been known to eat to relax and feel happy. I think any emotion will do.
The only time I don’t eat is when I’m upset or sad. Hmmm …
2. I’m an “older” lady.
This weekend I was referred to as an “older lady.” It was in a complimentary way as in … “She’s a pretty older lady.” It’s kinda like saying, “Your huge butt is cute” or “Those wrinkles around your eyes show character.”
Think I’ll go get some ice cream.
Oh how I love thee!! 🙂 I eat all the time…any emotion will do also. I clean when I am upset. I'll clean the white off my countertops when I'm really mad! And as for being an "older lady"…well if that's you…girl you wear it well!! 🙂 Love the post!
LOL, I am right there with you. The only time I don't emotionally eat is when I'm sad or down. But happy or stressed? Bring on the food! 🙂
LOL! From one "older" woman to another… I hear ya! Nothing like a little one to tell you all about yourself! My little one let me know about my "fat, squishy – uhhumm- backside" this weekend.
At least we're smarter than they are! We can always play the "wisdom" card. LOL!
I usually starve myself when I'm stressed, but last night I ate 15, yes 15, bite sized candy bars right before I went to bed. I don't know what was wrong with me!
Older? Who said that? A ten year old? You aren't older.
(my word verification is fraphize…drinking a frappuchino on a highwire? hehehe)
ha ha ha!!!
unfortunately I am an emotional eater with EVERY emotion!!!
Go ahead and add me to the list of emotional eaters. I've gained 15 lbs this first year of hubby being a full-time pastor. The really sad thing about that is that I lost 30 lbs in 2009. 🙁 One day, ladies…one day! 🙂
Love, love, love you! Seriously, I hear ya! I live in a college town, so there are lots of young people at our church. I get lots of "yes ma'ams." And I am currently chewing two pieces of eclipse gum to keep me from snacking myself to midnight!
