When I'm nervous, I eat. I'm stress eating cold pizza for breakfast right now, and I will likely eat more for lunch. I fully realize it is counterproductive; however, I don't want to stop. If Biden wins, I'll start a healthy diet and exercise program Wednesday morning. If Biden loses, I don't know what I'll do.
Wait a minute, I DO know what I'll do. I'll start a healthy diet and exercise program. I've got 4 more years of resistance fighting in me. I'm almost sure of it.
P.S. Halloween didn't help. I tried to socially distance with the candy giving. Only 2 trick or treaters showed up, 4 if you include the 2 mosquitoes that died and I found floating in my margarita. Now I have all that candy left, somewhere in the house. Tom hid it from me. I love that man.
Yes, I sat outside on Halloween blaring the Carmina Burana by Carl Orf, eating bbq potato chips and drinking margaritas. Seemed appropriate. Maybe a glass of wine, too. Nobody complained. I'm outta control.
Here's the real thing.
I get it! I don't always know what to do with the feelings on anxiety, anger and disgust. I've experienced more of it in the last year than in the last 10 combined.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope we can celebrate on Wednesday or Thursday with reckless abandon. I may decide to joy eat for a day or two but then back at it after that.
Keep strong.
Good advice, always back at it!
DeleteI know how you feel - so anxious and worried. Hope you can play happier music to celebrate a Biden win soon!
ReplyDeleteYes! Any ideas for happy music?
DeleteCelebration by Kool and the Gang (Celebrate good times!) or Happy by Pharrell Williams
DeleteI don't binge eat or drink, but I do lay awake at night for hours and hours wondering what will become of us. I like the idea of celebrating soon. My heart feels calm with that.
ReplyDeleteI wish for a heart happy celebration for both of us on Wednesday.
DeleteOn a stress level from 1 to 10, I am 99+. A margarita sounds awfully good to me right now. Is it 5 o'clock somewhere?
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteFinger's crossed.
Here's hoping we will all be able to have a drink of celebration when this is over.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteThis is all very understandable behaviour, under the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteIt's a real nail-biter.
DeleteWe had no halloween this year. It was sad but no dandy to hide from me. I had hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps. If Biden loses and the Russian puppet master Putin does it again, I will be in a padded room. That's were my covid-19lbs and me will go!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! We are sisters in spirit!
DeleteBoy howdy! You know how to do Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI gave it my best shot!
DeleteI must be your sister- today was a day of eating , all the stuff that does not go together, making myself feel more ill than I already felt, this is over soon!!! or the beginning of over.
ReplyDeleteAnother sister, the more the merrier.
DeletePlease envision Biden in the white house. Positive energy and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm burning that image into my brain. And I'm eating cold pizza.
DeleteFingers crossed there will be cause for celebration.
ReplyDeleteThey are crossed.
DeleteAs the days slid by it became more and more obvious that I would have to practice stoicism. If Orange Man could applaud hooligans in cars harassing the Biden bus, what was to stop him bribing people doing the count to secretly tear up Biden votes? Or burn down the counting house? We used to laugh about this kind of thing happening in the banana republics of South America. Where the police caused argumentative people to "disappear"? Now, I fear, the laugh is on us.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to forgive me. I'm not an Orff fan.
I hate being stoic. I prefer to rail and flail.
DeleteHow could you NOT be stressed? But I like your determination to move ahead with your plans no matter what the outcome. I'm cautiously optimistic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve! I am actually cautiously optimistic, too. Even for Florida.
DeleteI eat more when I'm bored but eat less when I'm nervous. Go figure. I'm anxiously awaiting the election result, like lots of people I know. Fingers crossed for Joe.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be one of those persons who doesn't want to eat when they are nervous. Eating is my go-to self medication.
