Weird day today. Was very snacky. Why is it that when I have a hard day I seem to gravitate to food more? Ugghh! Hate that!

Gum chewing totally helps! Keeps your mouth and mind distracted until the craving passes. =)

[Pam Benedick]

Thanks for the encouragement guys! As funny as it sounds I find that chewing gum at those times sometimes helps. I just need to remember this when I'm in the thick of it! :)

[Rachelle Lowder]

It's called emotional/stress eating my dear....and it can be a beast! They key is finding something to distract yourself and try to break that relationship. Also, if you aren't generally eating enough, your body has ways of getting what it needs. =)

Heh. Yeah. I'm that way with food too.  Like a comfort drug...  :(
