Singin’ the couch potato blues |
Feelingsssssss…nothing but those feelingsssss… haha I couldn’t resist. I don’t even know where that song comes from! Does anyone? Anyway, feelings and emotions have a lot to do with eating habits. My eating habits to be exact. Put it this way…. Chicago + Cold + Snow + Old Apartment = Frozen Busted Pipes and a collapsed ceiling!!! I have been dealing with all of that mumbo jumbo for the past week. There was nothing more than I wanted to do than to eat eat eat. This is how I gained weight in the first place…by feeling horrible about myself, so I would turn to a donut for comfort. Fortunately for myself, I thought about the rest of the girls and all the work we have been doing, so I stayed strong. Instead, I would pick up a weight and do little weight exercises in my house.
What do any of you do when you get stressed? Or what do you do instead of stress-eating to keep yourself busy?
Now that things are toned down at my apartment, I could actually relax again. I LOVE BEING A COUCH POTATO! When I get home, i do not want to move from the couch! I used to grab a bag of chips, or ice cream, but now I would grab a bad of popcorn (the healthy kind).
The only thing is, since I started The Best Life Diet I have been putting a lot of emphasis on food. I never in my life payed such attention to eating. I just ate and ate, never really caring about nutrion facts. My whole “comfort” thing was to sit on my couch and eat junk…. I come to a realization that my body cannot handle that anymore or I could gain and gain……but I feel like I am getting lazy… I feel like I could crack at anytime, but what I have on my mind is everyone that is doing this with me and then i stay on track. I have to.
