Cravings and too much sodium!

Ok, I'm doing good with the vitamins, and today I went over my fat intake, but not by too much. But I'm still over my sodium intake by more than double, it's almost triple. This is a big concern. I don't eat that bad, or at least I thought I didn't!
Tonight I have a craving for something, but I'm not sure it's really because I'm hungry, I am an emotional eater and I'm irritated. So, I default to heading into the kitchen. So, instead of getting a huge bowl of ice cream I limited myself to 2 spoonfuls while standing in the kitchen. That seemed to work, no more cravings. I just couldn't get it out of my head, and the bites seemed to satisfy that voice. But, I need to find another way to silence that voice. Eating makes me feel good, so that's what I want to do. I need to find other things that make me feel good. I don't like my body, and I feel like crap....so, some willpower will be in order until I get to be a bit healthier, but willpower is something that I have never had much of.
Anyway, getting it out of my head helps a little. I am going to go to bed and read until I pass out. Hopefully, I will be in a better mood tomorrow. I need to get out and do something outside...but it's 100+ degrees out, and it is hard to find anything to do that is comfortable when I am 100+ lbs overweight. *sigh* I'll weigh less if I force it, because I will sweat it off.
Good luck with your goals, and I hope your day is good. (-; Jennifer
P.S. If you have any tips on beating cravings, please feel free to leave comments. I'm all ears...well in this case eyes, because I'm reading it. (-: I welcome the suggestions, really.
