Stress is not my friend and I eat when I am stressed. The teen had round 2 of SATs Saturday. I keep telling myself that I have to stop caring as much as I do. She was bothered and apathetic and aside from sitting in on a weekend SAT Boot Camp, she did no other work to prepare. It really bothers me that she cries about how she's never going to get into college... and then seemingly does nothing to improve her odds. I was stressed Saturday when I left with the little one for her horse show. I was stressed when I got the call asking where her calculator was; and I was stressed when I got the text about "my friend called and I'm going away as soon as I'm done -FYI"- WTF!?
I had no bad food at the horse show, but later that day I ate TOO MUCH and one of those things I ate was a restaurant sized portion of Tiramisu... No way I can be shocked that I'm 51 points in the hole for the week. And here it is Monday and I'm doing my best to make up for a week of bad choices to *try* to *hope* for a loss at my meeting tomorrow. Self sabotage at it's finest.
And I don't want to beat myself up. I KNOW IT WAS TOTALLY STRESS EATING and this is always my problem. I know that it was stress eating and I have to figure out a new way to deal with stress that doesn't involve food. How can I expect to lose this excess weight and not regain it if I don't constructively deal with life's challenges? Stress will never not be a part of my life.
