So stressed right now! :( AAAAAGGGHHH!!!

Samuraiko

Not only am I currently trying to lose weight (and doing pretty darn well, all things considered!), but I'm trying to get the gaming studio I work with off the ground! And our first IndieGoGo campaign went live yesterday, but it's going so SLOWLY!

I am so not patient... I feel like the Frantics' comedy sketch "Tae Kwon Leap":

Ed: Yeah. No disrespect or nothing, but like how long is this going to take?
Master: Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.
Ed: So like, what, an hour or so?
Master: No, no. We have not even begun upon the path. Ed Gruberman, you must learn patience.
Ed: Yeah, yeah, yeah, patience. How long will that take?

And I know that this is going to be going on over the course of a month, and we're going to have advertising and stuff, but GODS, I am so stressed right now! And it's so tempting to just grab a bag of chips and a six pack of soda and just nom to get my mind off the stress, but I've been so good so far!

I am really, really trying to avoid using food as a crutch when I'm stressed (or worse, alcohol, not just coz of the empty calories, but because I'm a former alkie), but Gods, it's so hard.

I'm sorry, I'm not normally this whiny, I'm just so frazzled right now.

Exercise will help with the stress. Find something you enjoy and (as Nike says) just do it. Eat on plan and within your calories but don't deprive yourself of foods you love. Here's a great read to get you started.
