Stress Eating Check-In, Nov 13

[Connie12]

Hello! My apologies for the late start. Please, anyone, feel free to start this post in the mornings if you'd like.

My big source of stress, financial, was alleviated this morning. My best friend/roommate landed the job he's been wanting this morning. Yay!! I feel so incredibly relieved and lightened!!

Unfortunately, my head cold and menstrual cramps are keeping me for fully enjoying the celebration. My body feels crappy. I guess we can't everything all the time.

How are YOU? Post up and let us know!

Stress for me won't let up for a while. But today it seems manageable. I still want my chocolate, but I've been too busy to do anything about it. I've got a wake tonight and I won't get home until late, but that's usually the witching hour for me - late at night, I'm tired, I've worked hard all day, I want a treat. You know how it goes. I'm hopig tonight will be a good night as I'm not feeling too overwhelmed at the moment.

Hope everyone else is having a good day too!

Claude

Hi all!

Connie - Yippee for the relief! Now that your load is lightened hopefully your body will recuperate faster.

Claude - I'm so sorry, it doesn't sound like you're in for a good night. I have the same late night snacking issue. Is there any way you can just go to bed and pass on the trip to the kitchen? I know that's the only way I avoid that last round, I just give in to the Sandman and go to sleep.

Today was a great day for me, both in the eating and stress departments. Today was my second day off (in a row...a new record!) and it's helped tremendously. Just being able to do normal things like clean, walk through a mall and cook for the week has been wonderful. The ponies continue to improve and it looks like an easy work week for me with all of the rain forecasted. I'm probably the only person alive who jumps for joy at the sight of rain in the forecast :+ !!!

Have a great (rest of the) day,
Wendi

The only way to skip the trip in the kitchen is to not enter the house. Our back door goes directly to the kitchen. We don't have a key to the front door - it's an old house with an antique door lock. It's gorgeous so I don't want to replace it. Anywhooo, no bypassing the kitchen.

I thought I'd be ok but then - one and a half graham crackers each with almond butter and honey later. Followed by a small spoonful of chocolate hazelnut spread followed by a green apple followed by one chocolate mint chip cookie followed by three hershey's kisses. OK, now I finally stopped and hauled my rearend out of the kitchen.

I hate it when I get like that. I was good all day and then I blow it. OK, tomorrow is another day. I'll do better.

Thanks for letting me confess.
