Attack of the munchies

You would hope that the munchies only happen every once in awhile…and for me they do…normally. The last couple weeks have been ANYTHING but normal, though. I tend to be a stress eater (NOT GOOD), and there has been oodles of stress just waiting to pounce on me lately. Normally I can overcome one thing, but the more things that pile on, the worse it gets. Pile on the disappointment, lack of exercise, finals and a family visit…ummm…yeah. I’ve been eating. It hasn’t all been bad, it’s just been ALOT. And yes, some of it has been bad. Oreos, vegan shortbread, Rice Dream Ice Cream…. I had to think LONG AND HARD about why I was eating so much. I came to a rough conclusion: I like peace and quiet…sort of. I think that I would just prefer for one thing at a time to happen, rather than everything all at once. So as of today, I’m resolving to make better choices. I will do a Bar Method workout when I get home tonight, and I promise to limit my Dandies Marshmallow (OMW! SO GOOD!) consumption to a few a day…. Getting back on track…NOW. It’s so much easier to deal with munchies if you can track the actual source of your frustration. Mine happen to be waning, which is a GOOD THING! (and I’m out of Oreos…)

  1. Congrats! You are facing an issue EVERY ONE of us face, daily. Like when I just ‘forgot’ about logging food. I cheat more than I should and I applaud your ability to notice a problem, analyze it and then solve it! You’ll be fine – I’m pulling for you! YEA for no stress! If you manage to get away from the stress piling on – PLEASE give me some pointers :)

    hugs

  2. Thank goodness the Oreos are gone- a weakness of mine as well! Too bad we eat them till they’re gone!
    Everyday is a new day thankfully.
