When I'm stressed out, all self control goes out the window. It's almost like I reach for the WORST thing I possibly could because I'm stressed, angry, and it's like guilt free eating because I did it in an emotional state.
I feel awful later though. I feel angrier that I messed up my diet and grossed out by all the food in my stomach. :/
Not a question, I guess just wondering if anyone else feels this weird boost of entitlement to pig out when stressed/upset
Definitely. In fact, I was very much tempted to binge today with a container of lemon cookies in the office, because the machines were being stupid, I couldn't figure out how my new school's online class worked, and I couldn't find the book itself...ugh, I was raging LOL! I decided to allow myself to have 2 cookies though, which is less than the serving size of 5. Definitely proud of my self-control lately.
Yes, I was doing it quite a bit before, but that is something I am working on. I'm trying to find ways around it when I am stressed, like going for a run, throwing some punches in the air, take a long bath and do my nails, read a book or magazine, ANYTHING to keep me from bingeing.
Do you ever feel entitled to binge due to stress?
