I got home from work at 10:30pm tonight. Semi-stressful elder meeting to cap off a long day. My normal pattern for decompression is to come home, turn on the TV, get some ice cream or chips and veg out until I get tired enough for bed. It's mindless eating that I'm sure hundreds of thousands of working people do as a means of coping.
I'm trying to re-wire my brain to establish different patterns. It's very difficult. So tonight I'm going to read a back issue of The Sun and tell my brain the pantry's closed.
It's weird how stress and eating seem to be such happy bedfellows.

Oh yes, and each one of my unwanted pounds could attest to the stress/eating link. When did food become my god of choice? Difficult, but not impossible to dethrone. God Himself will see it through!
