What do you do when you are upset? And by upset, I mean, angry, sad, disappointed, worried, distressed or just plain confused. Some people cook when they are upset; some clean. I, however, eat.
Yes, that’s right. I need deadly carbs to settle down. I know that being a writer, I should technically write when I am upset. I used to when I was still into writing diaries. This was before someone read my diary, my personal thoughts. And I never wrote a journal anymore.
Then, I got so totally out of practice that now if I write when I’m upset, it just comes out rude, and rant-like. And, I refuse to rant on my blog, which is more of a social commentary.
So anyway, I have been thinking about it and I think I want to bake when I’m upset. How did I come up with that? Baking, or making desserts, is my second favorite thing to do (the first one being writing!). Yes, it is more than likely that I will be eating the baked goods and ultimately drowning my sorrows in sugary delights, bringing me right back to square one, which was that I turn to food when I’m feeling emotionally unwell.
Does that mean I’m forever destined to eat through to good mental health? Isn’t that what all the signs are pointing to?
So be it. Who can fight with fate anyway?
P.S. Making M&M's pancakes with chocolate sauce after work!
