KayBuckaroo's Journal, 16 June 2018

Drank way too much coffee today, am all jittery and sensitive. 4 year old throwing tantrums over Tv and video games... step sons biological mother being challenging.... and hubby is just trying to get the grilling done. Just another Saturday in my house, but it’s feeling more intense than usual.
I got up extra early, to clean and caffeinate. The house is immaculate, my new work bag is all packed (just got back from shopping all over town for odds and ends) and honestly there’s nothing much to be stressed out about. I just am hungry, and anxious from the coffee.

It’s so helpful to journal this stuff, because honestly otherwise I’d be grabbing whatever food I could find and gobbling it up. Being hungry doesn’t mean it’s an emergency. I don’t have to hurry and get something to eat. I can wait until the grilling is finished, and then I can slowly eat and enjoy.
Less than 6 months ago, stress meant time to snack and time to smoke, perhaps have a couple beers. What began as a quest for improved fertility became a complete overhaul of wellness and WOE for me and the ENTIRE FAMILY.

These days, nobody here smokes, and the beer goes mostly to the grilling (the grill master as well as his brats). Instead of stuffing something harmful into my head at the onset of distress, I’m getting good at giving myself permission to go upstairs and lay down in bed for a bit. My hands stay busy on my phone, and I never bring food up with me.

Caffeine creates a hypoglycemic effect in some people. It certainly does in me. A very little bit goes a long way. Too much, and I am anxious, jittery and hungry in that order. Lying down is a great idea. Take care of yourself.

Well done. If I can't sleep at night I have a strong black coffee and go out like a light - I've always been a bit topsy-turvy

I used to be unable to eat when stressed but when Mom got sick 5 years ago I realized I had to force myself to eat. Then again when the dr was worried I was too thin for my 3rd pregnancy. It became a habit to eat when bored or stressed so I understand your challenge. Good job on not snacking and waiting for dinner! And I must be odd as I started drinking coffee a couple of months ago and it doesn’t affect me. It helps me wake up in the mornings but if I’m tired through the day or night it will NOT keep me up. May be because I drink a mild breakfast blend and add one healing teaspoon full whether I’m adding 3, 4 or 5 cups of water to the pot. I’m also used to 5-6 pops a day before starting my diet so maybe I’ve built up a resistance.
