Emotional Eating

I have the munchies today.
"You're not hungry," I tell myself.  
That only lasts so long.

"If you're going to eat, at least eat something healthy."
So I've had wheat crackers with cheese and apples, a diet soda, a skinny cow ice cream sandwich -- that's healthy, right?? -- and a bowl of edamame.

I didn't get the fulfillment I was looking for, so I went for the candy cupboard:  8 leftover Milk Duds and 3 sour-filled Twizzlers.  
I'm feeling a little better.

As I have tried to analyze WHY I feel the need to munch today, I have come up with the following reasons:

Lexee has her court date today. I don't have to go with her, Bill has promised to be there. But there is still a little anxiety that something will come up at work resulting in my need to rush to the Town Hall to face the judge with Lex.
YIKES.

We got Taylor's email yesterday and found out that he had broken his arm and was getting transferred to "the most dangerous zone of the mission."
GREAT.

I'M STILL doing laundry from yesterday. I SHOULD do the ironing, but really don't want to. I COULD be painting my kitchen table, but feel that it's too big of a project for the time I have available.

I really wanted to take advantage of my easier morning schedule (while Mar's off-track) to go back to bed this morning and catch up on some much-needed sleep, but Shilo had forgotten some items she needed for 2nd period and needed me to get dressed and get them to her asap. Maybe I'm just feeling rebellious because my plan was foiled.

Regardless, I'm DONE MUNCHING FOR TODAY.
