Free Day Good or Bad?

Yesterday was my free of exercise and fee eating day. I was glad to not have to work out but it was hard for me to get up this morning and work out. I am sure some of it was that Allan hasn't been home at night. He is working at Sundance for the film festival and doesn't get home until 3 or 4 in the morning. I don't sleep well until he is home. I woke up tired this morning and just didn't want to get up and get my ass moving. But I did and glad I did.

So the food part. I ate good all day and waited for dinner to eat what I wanted. We had Papa Murphy's pizza, cheese bread and cookies. OMG was the bread the best bread I have ever ate and the pizza was the thing crust so it wasn't so bad. I had one cookie. But after I ate I felt like crap! I was over full, tired and bloated. BLAH! I have felt so light on my feet and so good after I ate last week I couldn't believe how crappy one meal could make me feel. I had read that you get to a point where you just don't want those foods anymore. I don't think I am all the way there yet but I think its pretty close. I just need to remember how I felt last night.

It was good while eating it. I think that I am looking forward to the rest of the week and the healthy foods.

Speaking of eating healthy. It sure cost more money to eat healthy. I can see why there are so many people out there that are over weight. Especially with the way the economy is. I hear so many reports about obesity being on the rise and child obesity is on the rise. Then why doesn't the food industry take a look at the prices. I went grocery shopping for 4 days and I spent 100.00. Usually for a week I will spend 150.00 on average. I am thinking that I want to do a garden next spring and try to save some money. It takes a lot of time and effort so I will have to see if I have a job or not. Hopefully I will I am tired of being home all the time. I feel like the longer I am out of work the harder it is to get a job. Anyway, that was a little off topic. I am watching Dr Oz and the topic is food addiction, is it an addiction or not? I really think that it can be an addiction. Especially if you are using it to comfort or as a vice to avoid a feeling. You crave it when you are in the moment of whatever you in. You can crave it when you tell your self you can't have it and you really really want it. I think that I have an addiction to food. I know that when I fall off my diet or healthy living its usually because something happened that has upset me and I just want to forget about it. The food helps me forget for the moment. I have learned though that the feeling or problem doesn't go away. Its still there. So what do you think? Addiction or not an addiction?
