Mindless Office Eating

Once upon a time I was big time career woman with a high stress job that I loved. I traveled all over the country & loved what I did.
Even though I loved what I did the stress was pretty high & the hours were never ending. My husband & I wanted to start a family so, I gave up my career. I continue to work full time but, a basic Mon - Fri 8-5 office job. Stress free, great benefits which allows me to enjoy more time with my 1 yr old son.
The problem...I am not always happy...I feel I took a job that isn't challenging enough for me. Some days I find myself daydream about the days when I was traveling and other days I find myself eating my entire days worth of meals/snacks all before lunch time. But, I do LOVE the extra stress free time I have with my son & hubby.
Just wondering if there are any other mothers and/or fathers out there that put their careers on hold for their family.
