It's been a rough couple of weeks, especially this last week. I've been on an emotional roller-coaster, and not the fun kind. I'm not ready to divulge details yet, but suffice it to say that I'm really struggling right now.
And of course, I'm finding myself drawn to food to comfort me. Really bad food. Chips and sweets mostly.
This week alone, I've eaten an entire tray of brownies by myself. And each time I ate one or two or three, I felt gross afterward. But I kept going back for more. Day after day. Thankfully, now they are gone. Because I ATE THEM ALL.
Until all this drama calms down, I don't know how to curb my emotional eating. I feel like everything is spinning out of control, out of MY control. And I don't know how to reign everything back in.
For now, since the drama is here to stay, I wish I could manifest my stress in ways other than eating junk food. I wish I was one of those people that cleaned their house from top to bottom, or threw out a bunch of stuff they don't need. Those are healthy ways of dealing with stress.
But me....I gotta eat.
I know it's hard, but try not to hate on yourself for this stress eating...stress is HARD, and it takes a lot out of the body, and it is not REALLY surprising that your body is trying to make you get lots of extra calories to fuel you in the stressful times ahead. It may be frustrating, but your body really is just looking out for you.
