So my WW meeting leader or whatever you call the person that runs the WW group meetings said something a few weeks ago that has basically shut down my emotional eating. She told us a story about her own inclination to stress eat especially after she hung up the phone with one of her family members that she thought was nuts and who really stressed her out and upset her. She said one day it dawned on her that she could hang up the phone with this family member, react to being stressed out by the family member and eat a bag of cookies but after it was all said and done that particular family member was still crazy and the cookies had not fixed anything. It’s so true. I don’t know why that resonated with me as much as it did but for the first time in my life I actually saw the futility in anxious and stressed eating. I am so guilty of doing it in the past and you know what, it has never once fixed any of the situations that cause me anxiety, stress or emotional distress. I hope this helps you!
