Why?
Filed under Confession,Journal by kristen at 3:46 pm on Jan 19 2012
Why do I feel the need to eat when I am not hungry?
Why? I wish I knew why my brain works this way. I know I am tired.
I know I am feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. But why? Food isn’t going to make my to-do list go away. It isn’t going to make me have this sudden burst of energy. Eating isn’t going to make my house clean, the laundry caught up, or my girls act like angels. (They are good girls though)
What a relief it would be to conquer this issue. I wonder what it would feel like to not have food rule so much of my life.

I wish I knew the answer to your question. If I did, we’d all be rich!
Hang in there.

When you find the answer please let me know. I’m right there with you, wanting to eat when I’m not hungry.

As a wise WW leader once pointed out: If hunger is not the problem, food is not the solution. I don’t know why food holds such power over our lives. I don’t know why I do the exact same thing even though I understand it will not help. I think I get caught in the moment and the reward is immediate and I am weak when I am tired/bored/overwhelmed/sad.
Actually, I don’t know why I do it either, even after 10 years on WW! And making goal once upon a time, though I can’t get back there now.
Hey, at least you know you are not alone! ☺
