As I sit awake at 3-fricken-AM, stressing about the wedding, I realized that a lot of my old habits with food have begun to change. Believe me, this is a good thing!
I worked from home today due to the icy roads, and this made me think back to days in the past when I was home from work. Most of the day would have been spent sitting in front of the TV, munching mindlessly on the high-fat foods that were usually reserved for Jay. For some reason I thought that because I was home sick, that this somehow negated all calories consumed. Today was very different. While I did feel the need to munch, I instead chose fruits and extra shakes. It is strange to think that me, Teri Krogstad-super snacker extraordinaire, is now turning to an apple to feed my cravings! Crazy right?
I also think how the stress from this wedding would previously have led to thousands of extra calories from food that I "deserved" because I was so stressed. Note to past-self, anxiety does not cancel out a bottle of wine and an entire pizza. It also does not miraculously burn extra calories...shocking!
Even tonight, I am sitting on the couch and I am hungry, but I am not struggling to keep myself out of "Jay's cupboard" that is full of candy, chips, nuts and many other fatty confections. How things have changed!
Enough pre-dawn ranting...I need sleep!
