When deadlines are the trigger

When a deadline is the trigger for stress eating, it feels like a double whammy.

    Same here! Except that by the time I get home from work, I am exhausted, & can't find the energy to do much beyond nuking a TV dinner & going to bed. What makes it 100x worse, our 'candy fund' in right behind my desk maybe 10 feet.
