I am stressed out. I am bummed out. I am not sleeping well and as a result I am doing the worst thing possible: I am making a habit out of comfort eating.
I am still getting in lots of exercise daily, and I try to get a lot of fresh air (weather permitting). I am still eating my Atkins foods, I am juicing like a mad woman – 6oz fruit juice before meals, 2oz of celery juice after meals. And I am having 4oz of black coffee in the mornings and 4oz of green tea in the afternoons. I am still drinking plenty of water. But I seem to be having a high carb snack every afternoon. White Cheddar Popcorn. 50 grams. I know I shouldn’t be, but I need something to make me feel better. Until all is right in my world again, I fear I will continue this habit. This negative trend. This indulgence. And I fear that in doing so, my weight will be adversely affected. But I am so bummed right now, I really don’t care enough to stop it. Ugh, I need to find my inspiration, I need to get out of this funk!
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I am sorry that you are in a funk! Besides that carb snack you see to be doing awesome! You can do it. Maybe when you crave those carbs, find a little activity to do. Go blog, or do something you like. Best of luck!
Hey Slim, thanks for your support. I am trying so hard. Most of it has become second nature. In fact, I find I don’t crave things the way I did before. It’s kinda amazing to me. But you are right. Instead of munching for comfort or control, I should do something productive. I will give your ideas a whirl. Thanks again
