I need to get a better handle on my stress. I’ve realized that I am always stressing over something, and feel that once that’s past, I can relax. But in reality, as soon as whatever event has passed, I’ve found something new to stress about. It’s a never ending cycle. I’m going to start looking up techniques to manage it better, because I can’t keep doing this forever. I’m teaching an 8 hour seminar tomorrow and my hair is about to fall out I’m so stressed. I don’t do public speaking well…..
But speaking of techniques, I’m also in the process of reading “brain over binge”, which has been very enlightening. Again, it’s been a recent revelation that binge eating is the primary factor for me falling off the wagon. It’s as if I lose control over myself and just can’t stop eating. It’s something I’ve always struggled with. Like, I have vivid memories of my 8-year-old self raiding the pantry when my parents left me home alone and eating until I hated myself. Hoping that getting a handle on this eating disorder will be the help I need to finish this weight loss journey.
On a fun note, after tomorrow, I’m taking Thursday and Friday off to go camping with the boy toy for a wedding he’s the best man at on Saturday. It’s going to be cold out, but I’d much rather have it be cold than miserably hot! I’ve been working on my grocery list, and its… interesting to say the least. We will be camping with one of his friends and they are having the bachelor party there with a handful of other guys on Thursday night. So I’m trying to figure out what to feed them, and what to feed myself because they will not be the same, lol. Thinking lots of fruit and veggies and lean meat to grill, and they can enjoy their cheese-filled brats, beer, taco dip, potato chips, and god knows what else.

Hi Notelain, i think you have one of your answers in the first paragraph. Perhaps you can take your weakness and turn it into positive. Ask yourself, what makes you stress about public speaking? I find when I open up with a mild joke, it lightens the mood and the one in the middle, and in closing around of applause and thank you. Invite them in. More importantly, stand in the mirror at home, hotel before you speak and practice. You can do it! Best to you.

I think most people have at least a moment of panic when having to speak in public -- don't forget the old rule about imagining everyone in their underwear. It really does help to relieve some of the anxiety.

There is a good book, 'Why zebras dont get ulcers' that distills down for the layman what we know about stress and its effects from medicine and psychology.
Meditation and a life of self examination can be a good stress reducer, as well as intense exercise.
As far as your binges, binges can be caused by many things. Some people have addictive/abusive relationships because they try to treat objects as a sort of push-button happiness. You can't extract happiness from objects, it doesn't work like that, and if it does it will stop working eventually and cause lots of problems. Other people end up binging a lot because they are too extreme with their restrictions. They over-restrict, until a binge occurs. One is causing the other in that case. Its like how a manic depressive swings between extremes.
