On emotional eating

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of the Chicago Bulls. I love Chicago sports (not baseball, so Cubs/Sox fans leave me alone) in general and I have high hopes for da Bears despite our lackluster draft, but I especially love basketball. So naturally I wore black in mourning for DRose's ACL and had high hopes and lofty status updates regarding tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Sadly, it was not to be and a myriad of questions are running through my mind including but not limited to:
Why was Scalabrine not starting?
How did we blow our comfortable halftime lead?
When did we get to be such sloppy players?
WHERE DID OUR MOMENTUM GO?
But most importantly, what can I emotional eat?

Then I remembered that I'm going to Boston to see Tommy this weekend so a solid cry-sesh with my besties Ben and Jerry was not an option. Luckily, my parents sent me a bomb care package and in it was a box of Kashi TLC granola bars: dark mocha almond. I figured it would be better than celery sticks.

Sadly, this granola bar is the highlight of my night. Only 6 grams of sugar, 6 grams of protein, a solid amount of mini chocolate chips and a great mocha flavor almost made me forget how depressed I am. There is no pain like NBA Championship pain.

So for the rest of you looking to emotional eat but not hate yourself for it afterwards, treat yourself to one of these. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep and dream of a game where Korver makes 3-point shots like he used to and no one makes idiot fouls.
