Stress Eating

So I know that I eat because of my emotions. It is clear. I have been going through some painful realities and sadness the last couple of days and I tend to want to pull the covers over my head and lay in bed. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, 5 children make that impossible.

So I turn to food. I had a piece of pizza and a cup of ice cream last night. I got up at 5 am and went to the gym this morning and did my cardio. I might have hit an 8 but my body would not respond to running faster. There is definately something about part of your brain that will allow you override your limits. Today it didn't happen.

Today I have had cereal, protein shake, water, coke, 1/4 grilled cheese sandwich, carrots, cauliflower, peppermint soft candies, fritos. I have put all these things in my mouth and am aware of it sabbotaging my eating plan but somehow it doesn't seem important today because of my stress.

I am back on the plan as of this second. Not tomorrow..now.
