I am usually a stress eater. I have been working diligently on this emotional side of eating, and stress eating is a big part of my recovery. I have a ton of stress. A lot of it is very personal, and I won't go into it here...because really who wants to hear my sob story when everyone has their own issues. I don't think mine are any better or worse than the next person's stuff so no need to go into it. Let's just suffice it to say that stress is a huge part of my day.
I am very proud of the fact that I haven't binged at all in 4 months. I am cautiously optimistic that maybe I have not because I am owning my feelings instead of shoving them down with food. I am not so naive to think that I won't slip up someday, but I hope that as long as I acknowledge how I am feeling and doing proactive things to counteract my stress then I should be good in the long run.
Whew...I just took a short break from blogging to do a little proactive work on my stress. I am feeling a little better :)
Anyhoo....I am not sure that I have a huge point to make here other than I needed to be blogging about my stress rather than obsessing about it and possibly eating. I just know that stress is a huge factor in a lot of health issues and I am trying very hard to just stay in the moment, not worry, and know that my actions will eventually make everything turn out alright.
