So, I have already come to grips with my emotional eating (nothing for mad, lots for sad, normal for happy, etc.) and seem to have that under control but now I am having problems with the stress eating.

Last week my husband stood up and his knee gave out. After a couple days of going to work and being on it for 6 to 8 hours at a time it still wasn't swelling but it "burns" and was visibly not right. Finally this weekend he went to have it looked at at the local urgent care clinic where they told him they didn't know what to do and gave him a script for Naproxen (that's right, Aleve) and expect us to pay $150 for that. She didn't even touch it or look closely at it. Grrr. We aren't paying that bill! Anyway he went to his regular primary care Monday and they gave him stronger pain pills but they still aren't touching the pain, put him on crutches, and he isn't allowed to go to work. His knee started swelling yesterday so he went back and they gave him a referal to an orthopedic surgeon for monday so no work till at least the ortho looks at it, and we don't have insurance so we have to pay for that on payments. Ug. The knee cap is not in the right place and we are worried it is a problem with his PCL from research we have done, which likely means surgery. Stress, stress, stress. And during all of this all he can do around the house is fold laundry so I am taking up the rest of the slack and keeping our three kids in line solo.

Now that I have given the back story, I am finding myself wanting to eat incessantly. I am so hungry. I have never been much of a snacker but this week has really pushed me to want to. I have fought the urge most of the time but even now I know there are birthday oreos just a few feet from the computer desk and although my stomach is still full to the brim from dinner my mind wants to tear into those cookies like a kid at Christmas. I have been bringing more for luches than usual, in volume but lower in calorie count, and find that I eat about half then bring the rest home or throw it out because my eyes are bigger than my tummy. I am working on listening to my body, but I want so badly to gorge. I bought a lot of fruit this weekend to counteract my husband's comfort foods because he is feeling aweful so I have something sweet to eat when the rest of the family is eating the less healthy snacks. Stress sucks! Stress eating sucks more!

I know what I need to do, and part of the way to keep myself honest to what I need to do is posting for venting and thinking it out purposes. I will watch what I eat and not give into unhealthy cravings that are coming from my head and not my stomach. I will eat fruit instead of empty calorie junk food when I need something sweet. I will not give in to the unhealthy habits that come along with coping with stress, that is how I got to my heaviest and I am not going back there. I will repeat reaffirming sayings to myself regularly.

No matter what happens, we will all live through it if we keep a level head and focus on the big picture instead of the small details, and this is but a small detail.View Thread

Awesome revelation. To be who you want to be you must first love who you are.
