The hidden secret: comfort eating.

The last three years has felt like one thing after another. Some big stresses, some not so big. But they all have an impact. I am a massive comfort eater, so when 💩 happens, or I get stressed I turn to food to make myself feel better. It short release, half the time it doesn’t even work, but it doesn’t stop me from doing it. I know that this issue I have had definitely hindered my progress with my fitness/weight loss journey. Eating this way makes me slower, more sluggish. And I know all this but it doesn’t stop me. When my head is in that moment all that doesn’t compute, doesn't have the care factor. It is to worried about trying to make me feel better in the moment. There is no reasoning with that part of my head that says this will make me feel better right now, long term? Who cares I am only worried about this moment in time.  It is so hard to overcome, but I am determined to get it under control. To find that other stress relief that will be more long term. That won’t have such an hindering affect on my goals and where I want to be.  I am a continuing work in progress.
