Jeanne- CE!

There is always something healthier to do than mindlessly eat junk food. When I catch it in time, I use my imaginary pause button to allow for a healthy alternative. Some of my favs are to pay attention to furfam when I walk in the door (which happens naturally), do a quick mindless mundane chore, listen to or practice music, stretch and breathe deeply, place one hand on abdomen and one on heart in extreme emotional challenges, while they're happening-- i.e. being sternly criticized, spoken to harshly, or wrongly labeled in some way, which still happens. I am emotionally secure about my motives and trying to do the right thing, but it still hurts my feelings and upsets me to be around emotional bullies.
