Emotional Eating and Weigh-In #8

I've really been dealing with a lot of emotional eating lately.  I just don't know how to get happy.  Tuesday I was feeling even more down than normal, so I went to the store and bought some donuts, chips, cookies and chocolate candy. I also bought a bottle of "St. John's Wort".  I've never used that before, but I was feeling desperate.  So for the past two mornings I took a pill and I have to say I feel a little better.  The only bad thing is I still have some left over junk food in the house.  I just weighed in and I'm 164.5:(  I know some of that is due to eating very poorly the last few days.  I'm going to meet an old friend from school in 2 weeks and I haven't seen her in over 10 years. She is one of those people with a perfect body - I'm jealous of the  photos of her on vacation that she posted on Facebook.  In several photos she was on the beach and a bikini.  So, I was really motivated to lose some weight a week ago, but when I'm feeling low I really don't care.  Now I just need to keep reminding myself about seeing my old friend and maybe I can drop at least a couple pounds.
