I posted recently about struggling so much with comfort eating lately. It's been an incredibly tough summer and I went right back to my comfort eating habits, constantly snacking, always reaching for my salty, crunchy comfort foods at the end of the day.
Well, on Monday, I gave my 3 week notice to one of my part time jobs.
And I have felt so much lighter. It is amazing! And it's been so easy not to snack. The past week, I've had light, satisfying dinners and felt no urges to reach for the Goldfish crackers after.
The work I've been doing over the past 2 years has not been in vain. It felt that way this summer - I felt like all I have done was for nothing and I was doomed to gain all the weight back. But the truth is, I was in a job situation where I was miserable. The constant stress and uncomfortable feelings made it really tough not to reach for something.
I'm still working on connecting more with my body, identifying my emotions, allowing myself to feel, and understanding what causes me stress. That will be a long process for me and a big part of continued weight loss and maintenance. I hope that I can keep working on better coping mechanisms besides the salty snacks.
In the meantime, I'm going to celebrate making a good choice, to quit, and get back on track with my weight loss journey!
