What is my trigger. . . STRESS! Well at least one of them.
I'm in stress mode right now. I'm way over eating. I just keep eating and can't stop. I go through this once a year. You'd think that after 25 years it still wouldn't bother me. This year is extremely bad.
Let me explain. I'm a 2nd grade teacher. Summer has come to and end. I started back to work yesterday getting things ready and the students come next week. I love my summers. I love being home. I love teaching. There is so much stress in education, any more. The students are great but all the politics and local, state and national demands. I spend more time filling out forms for this or that then I do teaching. And it all just stresses me.
Being single I have to work and I love teaching if I do have to work. But let me tell you. . . win the lottery and I'll be gone so quick they won't know what happened.
Stress = eating. Over eating = stress. It's a cycle that really depresses me.
My eating habits were going so good until Sunday came. I feel like I've ate none stop since. It takes a good couple of weeks back to work for things to settle. But there is an underlining stress that won't leave until next summer.
Uuuuuuuuuugh!!!
