More Emotional/Tearful in Public; Effect of Scholars?


Hi! I’ve been in scholars for a couple of months and have been losing some weight using the urge jar and planning ahead. I didn’t think of myself as an emotional eater, but over the past couple months I’ve become increasingly emotional out in public. I am not loving getting tearful at work – for example, when a coworker tells a cute story about their kid or a sad new story, or when I’m (ACK) negotiating for a raise. Is this a common “side effect”? If so, will it end? My boss is not someone who thinks being emotional is a workplace strength…
