Mindless Eating ...

Tweet

During the past several days of constantly watching the number of cases of coronavirus/COVID-19 go up ... I've begun to worry more. I'm no different from anyone else ... I know many of you worry too. Life has become uncertain ... I've begun snacking a lot. This is something I don't normally do. I've come too far to begin to put weight back on. Sadly, I know I have put on at least 5 lbs. It doesn't feel good at all. I've caught glimpses of myself in my mirror ... I see a giant in it. I'm not a giant but, my imagination sees one. I have to turn away. If I'm not always careful I have a tendency to gain weight. So ... tomorrow I will begin new ... and quit snacking, go back to normal for me. If I were very upset I couldn't eat ... when I worry I do snack. Nervousness. Like everyone ... I'm nervous at what tomorrow will bring in the way of more cases. From what the president, doctors said today on the White House briefing ... the numbers they predict are dire. They are saying as many as 100,000-200,000 people could die. Oh my ... I feel a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. I see now I am going to have to get involved in several projects around the house to take away nervous energy. It's only negative ... no one needs negative energy at this time. I am a very positive person ... I am human, also. I'm not perfect ... so, sometimes ... I become worried. It's time to begin channeling the negative into something positive to make something special from it all. Does anyone else experience what I am experiencing at this time? Does the pandemic make you worry, begin to snack ... you not notice until you gain a little weight? I'm so glad I am sensitive to gaining so, I didn't just keep on and on. Mindless eating ... not paying any attention until too late.
