Stress

I have more on my plate right now than I can handle. Between travelling for work, packing people to move, taking care of my friends who are in crisis, obligatory pre-holiday baking, my dad being in the hospital for really scary reasons, no sleep, and other assorted drama, I have been so unbelievably stressed this last week and it's not going away. And it's showing in what I've been eating but at this point I don't care.

I think that yesterday I ate scrambled eggs, two ginger cookies, a glass of milk, and a bag of marshmallows. The day before? No breakfast, enchiladas for lunch, no dinner, and about a dozen Diet Dr Peppers. Friday was no breakfast, a full turkey and stuffing dinner for lunch, half a piece of meatloaf for dinner. I get that I'm stress eating. I get that this is quite possibly the worst thing I could do for myself and my body right now. I get that this is a slippery slope into bad habits. But right now, I just can't deal. I cannot handle one more thing at this moment so this is what I'm going to let slide.

Someday I hope to be able to handle massive meltdowns in a more constructive manner. But for now, I will settle for being able to go back to eating well when all of this passes.
