Re: stress eatingFrom: Avalos (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 20 Jul 2000 08:54:22 -0500
I do this... how do I deal? Well, sometimes I can't deal and I do go straight to the fridge... Lately, the only thing that has saved me is the fact that there isn't much in my fridge anymore that I shouldn't eat! Last week I had a really bad week... I was so stressed out that I had to take two days off from work... On Thursday, after I dragged myself out of bed, I plodded down to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and I found... cauliflower, roast chicken, soy milk, tortillas, lettuce, eggs, refried beans, cheese, left-over lo-mein from my husband's take out the night before, and a stuffed baked potato that I had made for him to take to work for lunch (he forgot to).... there were other foods, but things that I would have had to cook, and I was in no mood to do that.... so I slurped down the lo-mein and picked at the potato... and by the end of the day, the potato was gone, and I was still cranky. I wanted a huge bowl of grape-nuts with whole milk and sliced peaches... I wanted ice cream, I wanted pound cake, I wanted chocolate... I wanted fettucine or lasagna... but there was none in the house, and I was not about to go to the store... so I resisted, you could say, by default... I was at an impasse with the contents of my fridge. By sheer laziness I was able to not eat any more carbs! go figure.... (this was probably my worst week since starting with low-carbing and taking metformin in April). The weekend did get better. I went away to the Eastern Shore of MD for a couple of days, stayed in a little B&B, & ate raspberries & blackberries & cantaloupe for breakfasts & all-you-can-eat Chesapeake Bay blue crabs for lunches (to the point that I was so stuffed full of crab, I could not move...)... so I guess I was sort of back on track... it was very very very hard..... <g> I guess what I mean is, when I get stressed or depressed or in a funk, it is almost impossible for me to stay on track... I just have to get through it somehow, and one way to limit my disastrous digression from the low-carbing is to just not go to the store to buy what I am craving, and at some point, I have to push myself to go do something different or interesting to get my mind off of the funkiness.... Sometimes my husband is a big help, at other times, I really feel like I could strangle him because he makes things worse... I have no idea how to predict or how to avoid all of this... I just hang on until it has passed, then I pick up and start all over again.... I wish I had a better way to cope!

When ever I try to low carb, the first thing that upsets me sends me to the fridge. Since I have very high anxiety and depression, this is often. I just wondered if anyone else had this, and how do you deal with it.
