I was so far off the mark in every category today.  This is the first time I've really noticed that my emotions play a role in my eating.  I've never noticed this before.  But after lunch with a friend I see where I got back on track for dinner and snack.  So tomorrow is a new day and we're going back to the basics of a 3 block meal and 2 block snack.  Let's see if this works.  If not, we'll come up with another plan and give it a try.  Food has defeated me most of my life... I'm NOT going to let it anymore.  I'm going to fight for this healthy lifestyle no matter how many meltdowns and pity parties I have to go thru because I know me well enough to know that I ALWAYS come out fighting harder and stronger than before each time!
