Life has been out of control....
the only good thing i have to say is so far I am not gaining weight from it. in times of extreme stress it is important to remember and apply the principles of controlling emoptional hunger and emotional eating. stress management. my stress management tool box is a little light at the moment. However certain tried and true methods will work with out a lot of need for outside help. EXCERCISE. taking a walk. ride my bike, work in the garden, go to the yoga class whether I feel like it or not. forget the messy house for a while and light a nice smelling candle, lay on the couch and watch a funny belly laugh movie. read a great book. go out with friends. My shrink said go ahead and have the piece of chocolate once in a while. and dont beat myself up over it. It seems the beating myself up leads to far more emotional eating and calorie intake than hte original infraction against my diet. Even "normal" poeple occasionally cope with a bite of chocolate. I am working on improving at journaling my feelings. eventually that may help. Scrapbooking to alleviate some of the stressful feelings. occasionally just telling family I need a break and LETTING someen else take ove rfor a few hours. please give me feedback!
