I'm posting the pics from last week and this week to show two things:
- I do take a picture every Wednesday.
- I'm down 1.8 lbs. Yay!
One thing I've learned about myself recently is that I can be an extremely anxious person. (Anyone who has had the pleasure of sitting next to me knows I have that annoying habit of constantly shaking my leg. Part Restless Leg Syndrome, part anxiety!) Lately it has gotten a lot worse and my mind has been a whirlwind of worry and stress. I hate it! I could not figure out what had changed, Why am I suddenly this giant ball of stress?
I really think it's because before, when I would get anxious or stressed, I would eat. It wasn't a surprise that I used food to self-medicate. I knew that part. I was just surprised at how well it worked! Since I can no longer stuff my face whenever I start to feel anxious, I'm left to just deal with it. And I don't know how to do that. But I'm learning!
What do you do to de-stress?
Working out. Especially with barbells I lift then can slam down!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm also finding out the coloring is soothing.
Just not with my 8 year old. "Mommy. What color should I do this?" "whatever you want!" "No, I want you to choose!" "Okay, Pink." No, I want yellow!" (UGH)
Also - napping. which only happens every other Sunday afternoon. *sigh*
