As most of my friends are Army spouses, they can probably relate to how a PCS (permanent change of station....i.e. moving AGAIN) feels. If they are like me, they take on the lead role of well, everything. Being in charge of everything and everyone is very stressful. And, if I'm being honest, can leave one feeling a bit unappreciated. Which is how I am feeling today. Now, this could really be the case, or I could be suffering from a mild (or severe if you ask my husband) form of PMS. Or it could be a little of both....I'm leaning toward this option. Regardless, I'm feeling stressed, tired, hormonal, and unappreciated. Which in the end, makes for a very grumpy Nicole.
What might this all have to do with weight loss? Let me tell you. I have eaten my share, my two daughters shares, and probably 1 or 2 more peoples shares of teeny, tiny, "snack" size candy bars in the last 2 days. This is not good, folks. Not good at all.
As I have vowed to be honest while writing this blog, I must confess......I'm an emotional eater. It's terrible. I feel sad, mad, happy, anxious, or stressed....and I eat. I eat bad food. Mostly chocolate and/or baked goods. The really bad part is, it doesn't make me feel any better afterwards. In fact, I feel like shit, if I'm being honest. I feel bad because I ate bad food. Then I feel bad for feeling bad. Then I feel bad because I've let myself down. It's a horrible vicious thing. I know it's wrong and that I shouldn't do it. But alas, I still do it.
So, back to appreciation, or the lack of it. This PCS has been a stressful one, and has left me feeling utterly unappreciated. Therefore, leading to me be my emotional eating self.
With this post, I want to try something a little different. I want to see what you, my readers think.
I want to know...am I the only emotional eater out there???
