The Fridge is NOT the Answer...

These last few weeks have been tough for me...I had my last week of classes for Spring Term! Then I had the looming and daunting task of papers, projects, and finals...as well as a busy "ish" work week. Needless to say my stress levels have begun to increase. If there is anything I have learned about myself over the years...it's that I tend to eat when I am emotional...and these last few weeks were no exception. 

Something I have had to remind myself while while trying to get back on track is that whatever I am going through, food is not the answer. I may find "comfort" for the moment, but after that moment has passed I will feel a brief moment of defeat. Realizing that by practicing these habits brought about my emotional triggers, I am no closer to my goal then I was before. If anything, I am slowly taking steps away from where I want to be and the healthier me I want to be. 

Obviously, since all the stress of finals has subsided and I have become aware of the issue at hand, I am back on track eating right again! This is a reminder not only to me, but to everyone else that even if you fall of the horse you can still get back up again. In fact, it is encouraged. Don't ever give up on your dreams and goals. They are all attainable, you just have to believe in yourself and never give up! 

A short, yet sweet post. Thank you all for the support you have shown me thus far. It means a lot to me to know that there are others in the world who struggle with the same things I do. 😊
