<human>: 21/f if that's relevant. I just got home from work after a really rough night. After having a little cry I realized two things: one was that I didn't know a way to feel better after a bad day outside food, drink and drugs. The other thing I realized was  I needed some change for the bus tomorrow and had to go to the 24 hour Safeway nearby to get cash back.

So standing in Safeway, I needed to make a purchase to get cash back. I had my shoulder devil whispering something about donuts and potato chips. I had some *serious* trouble fighting that urge, and ended up walking out with a small bouquet of flowers and some gel pens. 

But it's still bothering me that my first reaction was to want food. It took me a long time- too long, really- to think of something other than food that would cheer me up.

Loseit, have you all got any good low-to-no calorie sadness cures? How do you deal with bad days (or bad nights) now that you're losing weight?

And before someone says it, I know exercise is a mood regulator, but I'm really hoping for some ideas I can use even late at night/regardless of how sore I am.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Wanted donuts, bought flowers. Wondering what other non-food things I can do to brighten an ucky day
