I Am An Emotional Eater

I eat sugar and salt, donuts, coffee cake and jalapeno peppers too. Because these are things a meddling doctor told me not to do. They are my forbidden foods, so I grab them up in droves. If I had hot homemade bread, I would devour up those loaves. I have gained a bunch of weight. Weight I had lost long ago. I have a gold medallion from a diet club, which gives me now a woe. Have gained sixty-four pounds I lost, adding to them twelve more. Hey! Husband of mine, are you heading out to the Happy Foods Grocery Store? I am an emotional eater. When my feelings are hurt, I reach for the chips. Most of the weight is in my stomach, but also my butt and my hips. Once upon a time I stopped overeating, but I am older now and say. I have to do something fun to get through the rest of this horrible day.

Well, confession time. I'm a cookie-crazed fanatic. I simply must stop buying them because I eat 4-5-6 every day! I've put on ten pounds since Christmas. Gotta come off! I'm not obese, but I sure could wind up that way!
