Yesterdays WLS journey

Today was an absolute crappy day! My stress levels have not been this high in a very long time. At one of the heights of my day I found myself at a vending machine looking for nuts (salt and crunch) thank god they had none. I didn't choose Cheetos or cheezits. I left. Needless to say I had some stress eating today. I could not exercise because of a child dilemma that had to be worked out. I have had no time for me this week at all. I really need to find strategies for stress, maybe counseling. PMS not helping either.
I found myself having another highly stressful day earlier this week and came home ready to exercise. Dinner was ready and I decided to eat first. What happened next was astounding. I got through dinner, on plan. At the end I had this euphoric high and my stress was better. This scared the shit out of me. I was not shoveling unplanned just to alleviate the stress but it happened and I was so aware of it. The food took away the stress for the moment. I definitely have a problem and it is so deep it does not even need to be candy, cookies, or junk.....just dinner at the right moment. I don't like this and am realizing I will need help (professional) to manage this aspect. Heavy sigh.
