I've been overeating

I have been overeating. There's been lots of sugary things around and other kinds of food.


I think it's insecurity - I seem to just stuff my face when I have a moment for pause.


I need to find alternative coping mechanisms. My friend drinks tea a lot - and I think that could be good.


In fact I did that - but then had a plate of rice. 


I have a lot of unknowns in my life right now...I am looking for a new place to live - 


and I started looking for Christmas presents online for my family today. My food fixation just ballooned all day long...


It will get better...

I’ve been having digestive issues lately and am trying to cut out fried foods. Not entirely, but minimize them greatly. So far I feel better! I also started taking probiotics (only can buy them when they are on sale) and that may be helping too....who knows.

Diet is a big part of managing this Illness....and what the meds do too....gotta take that all into consideration!

Best wishes Marky! You are so conscientious about everything and it’s inspiring!
