Stress eating

I have discovered that being on a diet is the single most impossible thing that a stress eater can do when they are in such a high stress position as being a family caregiver. I doubt that even weight loss pills would be any use to me since my problem is a purely reactionary need to munch on something when I am stressed out. I am hoping that working on applique work will prove to be the distraction I need from stress eating, but so far as soon as the stress hits the breaking point I have put my applique work aside and started munching. Two days in a row now I have polished off 9 to 12 cups of air popped popcorn in a single sitting. Not good, but at least I have started to move away from the chocolate bars.

Post a Comment

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.

I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.

Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.

If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.

Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
