I cannot stop eating junk food
General October 28th, 2008Seriously. I should just inject an IV bag filled with diet coke into my vein. It would probably be the same as the quantity I have consumed over the past several days. And the junk food… sheesh. I must really be stressed. There are times I feel stress, and others I don’t but my subconceince must be working overtime because I can’t stop! Doesn’t help that I haven’t gotten to the gym in 3 weeks or have had a chance to do any exercise. Every time I want to go out for a run, my hubby takes off to do something at the house leaving me with the kids. Hopefully we can get moved and get on with our life. I sort of feel like we are on hold right now.

I know what you are going through. My male partner and I rennovated two houses last spring. I could not diet if it would save my life. I was very stressed out, not sleeping well, and just to tired after painting, etc. Now one of the houses is up for sale and we are living in the other. I feel way better now that I don’t have to do the sub-contracting junk!
Hang in there. For stress, I don’t eat. It just makes me more stressed out because I don’t get the satisfaction I want and because I feel guilty for overeating or eating junk.

hey, diet coke makes a lot of people go nuts on junk food. That may be the connection in itself! You are going to get this! Delita

There are moments when I apparently lose consciousness. Really. ‘Cause the CRAP that I will eat is shocking. I mean, under normal circumstances I am all about less processed stuff (i.e. no bologna or crap like it) but then I will completely lose my mind and eat a bologna and slaw sandwich while standing in front of the fridge. Then that is all it takes and suddenly it is like I search out all of the things that I normally don’t allow myself to eat. Next thing I know, I am having a jethro bowl of sugary cereal that has like no fiber. Or (actually, “and” is more like it) a bunch of practically empty calories like bagel chips. And the thing is, even healthy food in excess is bad. And I will empty out leftovers. When I get like that, I tend to take huge bites like I am desperate or something. It is pathetic. And it is most likely a version of an eating disorder.
You do have a lot going on. I have no excuse and have been a slacker on my exercise. There is no way on earth I would even feel like I should exercise in the middle of a move. You will eventually be settled in and then maybe do some walking and running in your new neighborhood. Will you have some good places there for that?
