Some struggles....

So.... Ever since my monthly weigh in last Wednesday i have noticed i have been nibbling a bit more than normal. Nothing huge, or even poor food choices, just a bit more than necessary. I've been up about 100 to 200 kcls per day and up a few on the carbs. The first day, no biggie, some days it just works out to be a bit more, others less... But then 3 days later i noticed the balance of low and high was not balancing out... I exercise a lot, so i tried to tell myself my body just needed more fuel... But i knew that was a lie... And i refuse to lie to myself any longer... The last 24 hrs i've been racking my brain as to where this extra nibbling is coming from... Today in my Research Project Meeting, Doc. Christina asks us how the term is going, both my lab partner and I say "mid-term stress.... Feeling overwhelmed just like we do every term about this time" BINGO! There it is!! This is the first "mid-term overwhelm" i've had since surgery.... I was falling right back into old habits of eating it away! WHEW! Now i know what it is and for me, that's half the battle! I cannot fix it if i don't know what's broke.... Becca's back in the game 110% now and feeling "in charge" "F" the nibbling... Its a game killer! I'll find other ways to deal with middle of the term stress... Maybe extra sex!

I like your replacement choice for food there at the end! ;) stress is so hard. Work is really stressful right now, but I notice when I\'m feeling even more overwhelmed than usual, my cravings return and i want to nibble. But knowing IS half the battle!! Good luck and kick some ass on those midterms!!
