Sometimes when I can't think of anything to say, I go to the NaBloPoMo site and look at the writing prompts. It seems like all the May prompts have to do with food, which seems kind of appropriate since I am a bit preoccupied with food and weight this month.
The prompt for today is "What makes you eat something unhealthy?"
As I'm sitting here thinking about it, I don't know that I consciously think of food as healthy or unhealthy. I think of it as a good choice or not a good choice and I decide whether a bad choice is worth the WW points that I'll have to "spend" to eat it.
My emotions have a lot to do with whether or not I think a bad choice is worth the points. I know I am an emotional eater. When I feel stress or I'm sad or even when I'm happy and excited, I just kind of lose my judgement and eat stuff that I know is a bad choice. When I'm feeling strong and empowered and confident, it's much easier to say no to just about anything that's put in front of me.
A lot of times, too, the unhealthy foods are convenient, so it's easy to just eat it because you don't have to work very hard. And lots of unhealthy, bad choice foods taste really good.
