Today has been a day of stress eating. I knew I did this periodically to some extent. I think this is why it's so important to track what you eat. It makes me so much more aware, even during the times when I'm not tracking every single calorie. I still pay better attention.
Yesterday presented me with some sticky situations and stressful conversations. It caused me to not sleep well last night. I had some anxiety today and some nerves about the basketball game tonight. It was like the perfect storm.

Anxiety and operating from a place of stress is not normal for me, and I'm thankful for that. It also caused me to be ill-prepared to handle it well. I started trying all the relaxation and breathing exercises I teach my clients. I didn't realize how much of a crutch food is for me when I need comfort, though, so in those tempting moments, I caved.
I'm glad I had this experience while I'm hyper aware of what I'm eating. I will be better prepared to handle it in the future.
What are some ways you manage stress and anxiety? I would love to know what works well for you!
