While driving to meet a friend for lunch, you start to think about what type of food to order. As you mentally scan the menu, you remind yourself that you should go for the healthy option. You have that wedding on the weekend and want to look your best in that dress.
Before you know it, you start to feel unhappy about your weight and upset that you can’t afford to buy a new outfit. By the time you arrive at the restaurant, you’ve started stressing about money problems and your body, causing you not to enjoy the time with your friend and ordering something you don’t enjoy based on the concerns circling your head.
