I can't explain emotional eating. I just know how well it works for me. While I was hanging at death's door for the last few weeks, all I wanted was chocolate cake, Oreos - anything with chocolate as its main ingredient. (I've officially diagnosed myself with a bad cold-turned bronchitis. Or it could have been the plague.) Now that I'm breathing normally, only coughing a third of the day, and have walked at a slow pace on the treadmill for 30 minutes two days in a row, I suddenly have the urge to eat healthy. Really healthy. OK, healthy for me. For breakfast, I'm eating Smart Start cereal with Vanilla Light Soy Milk (no, really), and I've been stopping at ONE BOWL, instead of pouring in way more milk than necessary and then being forced to add more and more cereal until it finally all evened out at the bottom of the dish.
Where might this healthy eating take me? Will I actually add a vegetable to my dinner tonight?

I bet that Smart Start cereal would have tasted a LOT better with some Mrs. Butterworth on it.
When I'm sick, my appetite goes. Or I crave simple comfort food like soup. I know I'm on the mend when I feel like eating foods like salad.
