My first thought log.

What happened :-
Got behind the wheel and headed off to Essex Stopped at the co-op and bought Grapes, mixed fruit and nuts and also dried apricots.
Stopped at BP and bought 6 bottles of Pepsi Max (bogof) I always buy extra Pepsi when its on offer for some reason.
Stuck in traffic on m25 ate all supplies and drank all drink.
Delivered load then headed back stopped in BP bought 4 bottles of Pepsi max and also large bag of mixed fruit and nuts and more dried fruit.
Ate all of them in one go stopped again at Tescos (less than 45 minutes later) and bought more fruit and nuts and dried Apricots. Continued to eat all of them until I felt so bloated and full I also had a stomach ache.

Hot thoughts :-

Need food to concentrate while driving Could get stuck in traffic with no supplies. Worried about being bored. Don't like my own company when no distractions. Feeling lonely. I need comfort when I'm alone. Food is my only comfort. Food will make me feel better.

How I felt :-

Felt guilty
Lonely
Defiant

What I did this time/would have done in the past:-

When feeling like this I binge, now it's on fruit and nuts in the past it would have been bread and chocolate or take away.

Evidence for Hot thoughts:-

Everyone in my life has left me at different times.Apart from my ex-wife the important people have always come back into my life.
Spent hours alone behind the wheel and have enjoyed my own company.

Evidence against hot thoughts:-

There's nothing wrong with my own company.
I'm not going to starve if I'm stuck in traffic without food.
Food isn't going to make me feel better or less alone it's a momentry distraction.
Food isn't going to actually stop me being alone in fact the opporsite is true in the end.

In the future:-

I'll turn the radio up.
Try and get out of driving for work.
Go for a walk (when I'm at home feeling like this) ( which I'm already doing)
Stop drinking Pepsi Max.
Leave my wallet at home or work so I have no money to spend.
