Day 89 – I’m so angry

Day 2From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 89

When you reach for food to appease anger, you might be fixing the wrong emotion.

By paying attention to other emotions besides anger, you’ll get a more accurate picture of the situation and why it upsets you.

Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.

1. Identify a recent or past time when you felt intense anger.

I used to have a lot of trouble with anger, especially as a kid. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more mellow. When I feel angry now, it’s usually at my husband for not doing something or forgetting what he’d promised to take care of.

2. Write, “I’m angry and I’m also…” then list other emotions you were feeling.

I’m angry and I’m also…
Worried
Sad
Upset
Hurt
Disappointed

3. Create a plan for dealing with the emotions that weren’t actually anger.

I’m always amazed when I do this exercise because I discover a huge list of emotions that have nothing to do with anger. It also helps me figure out how to cope instead of trying to get rid of my anger.
