This really is the ongoing theme of the blog. Why do I eat so much: am I bored? Am I sad? Is it a habit?
Yes.
I'm to the point where exercise is less about losing weight and more about mental health. I also need to meditate.
I can still have a glass of wine but not until I've sat and done nothing but breathe and not think for 15 minutes. This will help immensely with stress and overall depression as well.
This coming from a holistic approach. If I take care of my mind and my soul, then the body will follow. I need to come up with new and healthy ways to cope with everything, not just the present but also the past.
Counseling has also been bouncing back and forth on my mind. It's free to students on campus it's good practice for them and it's going to be good to get the weight of the past and present off my shoulders. My weight gain has fluctuated throughout my life associated specifically with traumatic events. I'd like to get to a point WHEN (it will -that's life) something else bad happen, I don't eat my way through it.
There are joke about people eating their feelings. I actually do.
