Ah, stress, in any form. And depression, any form of feeling blue. Food is comfort...<br /><br />Not sure there is any particular trigger event. Instead, it's subtle and it builds to a crescendo and then I find myself sitting on the couch with a bag of something crunchy... I don't keep really bad for me food in the house, but an entire bag of rice snacks isn't exactly a great thing either!<br /><br />Must think of how to be specific with this trigger...Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240719766600429851.post-64200507379653735622011-07-14T12:29:23.822-07:002011-07-14T12:29:23.822-07:00Stress eaters, food addicts... I think to myself, ...Stress eaters, food addicts... I think to myself, "Why don't I have another shot of sugar with that rant?" <br />And then I rationalize having another... and another...<br />The drowning quote resonated with me this week, because it's true. 'Drowning your sorrows' happens as easily with food as with alcohol & cigarettes. They're crutches. That's the reason for the pushups -- strengthen our muscles so we don't need the crutch anymore. <br />Thanks for your comments Dawn, Terri, and Carey!Pamela Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350308693959960754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240719766600429851.post-6499998582455162042011-07-14T11:35:36.571-07:002011-07-14T11:35:36.571-07:00Love the post!

So I struggle at his house, and with our houses merging soon, I better find a way to deal. Haven't figured that one out yet. Pushups just might work.Carey Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497341972679836624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240719766600429851.post-74235837346231447642011-07-14T11:31:43.096-07:002011-07-14T11:31:43.096-07:00I ADORE this blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you...I ADORE this blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's so encouraging to know I'm not floundering out here alone. (Not that this competition didn't already teach me I'm not, but still.)<br /><br />I was talking to a friend the other day about people who turn to alcohol and smoking to deal with the stress and sanity of their lives. I don't drink (got that out in my early 20s) and I'm allergic to cigarette smoke so that was never an option.<br /><br />But there's always food. Food has been my go-to for boredom, stress. loneliness, anger, and even celebration. I am the queen of rationalizing and I can rationalize that extra piece of pizza like nobody's business.<br /><br />I only drink water (and have for years) so I've got that taken care of. I like the push-ups idea. Especially since I really don't want to have to do push-ups in my office at work. :)Terri Osburnhttp://www.terriosburn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4240719766600429851.post-5458900027696791822011-07-14T09:56:31.871-07:002011-07-14T09:56:31.871-07:00Great post.

I think it started because I have sugar issues so every time I would get the least bit angry some one say, "Oh, we need to feed her." No, sometimes, I just get to be mad! <br /><br />My biggest trigger is conversations with my mother, which I have almost daily. I have started redirecting that emotion. If I hang up from mom, the last place I go is in the kitchen. I go straighten my bedroom, fold clothes, anything but walk to the fridge. So, far it has worked okay, but I am about to have to call her, so ya know.<br /><br />Love the pledge, by the way, I might print that out and put it on the fridge!Dawn Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812066956850617957noreply@blogger.com
