Stressed is desserts spelled backwards.

So it's been a pretty stressful week. Lots to do at work, lots to do after work, adjusting to the time change...blah, blah, blah. Stress affects our eating- duh. I am not immune to this. So, if I'm pretty stressed I want to eat anything that's not nailed down. If I get past that point and move into anxiety, I don't have any interest in eating. Today I could have eaten my weight in salty or sweet food... and I didn't. I went out to lunch at a new restaurant that features homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts. I had most of my flex points left, so I knew I could induge a little. I ordered a cup of cream-based soup, a small sandwich, and a piece of carrot cake. I ate half of the cup of soup, the whole sandwich, and half of the carrot cake. It was lovely. I stayed in control and I am proud of that.
