Someone ran into my car in Aug., geez the car place was suppose to fix my car in 2 days so I didn't get a rental and it took all week. I found myself stressed and wanted to pig out but I asked myself if I was hungry or it was emotional. I told myself to wait it out and am glad I did. Also same car got windshield broke from a rock on the way home from vacation. First thing I wanted to do was eat. I made myself aware and never stopped to do this before and it made me stop and think.

August was a stressful month. Hubby was suppose to get a new job and then his boss promises him a job and then backs out. Again, I was so angry and stressed and made myself not eat over this. I use to think this was the only way I could get thru rough stuff, food takes the edge off just like a drinker with his booze. Food is my drug. Well long story short hubby did get his job and I had not gained weight. This was a biggie for me. Did not realize I ate my feelings so. Yep, being aware has helped. It was like food was my only hope of getting thru this, crazy thinking but it was me. I can get thru stuff without drugs which is food for me.
