I have been really wanting to learn from my overeating this past week. I had to question stress and anxiety. I thought I was managing my stress and anxiety pretty well during the delivery of this project. And although I still have a lot to learn, I think I automatically attributed the overeating with stress – could it be celebration? The desire was so strong – and my urge did not feel like an urge, so perhaps that is why I did not recognize it? I was seeking relief, and in the past relief has been food – for “good” and “negative” events.

Makes me think how sneaky my brain is – I have been hypersensitive to stressful and anxious thoughts that this threw me for a loop. Does this make sense?
