Observations

[Guest guest]

I have had a couple of stressful weeks in that I have been going through the

interview process with a company which I really like. My schedule has been

rather busy doing volunteer work outside of work.

Usually I get enough rest and am able to stay mindful and very grounded. But the

past couple weeks have taken their toll on me. What I wanted to share with

everyone, is that even after doing IE for 4 years, I found myself wanting to eat

because I am tired and anxious. I find when I get this way I feel like a

bottomless pit and feel like I can't get satisfied. I have to stay very mindful

and present in order to not keep eating. Today I got a foot long from Subway

and was very proud that I only ate half for lunch. It was hard for me. I

really wanted the other half. But knew that if I ate all of it, I then would be

too full. And I realized this bottomless pit feeling. And I really think it is

from being stressed, anxious and tired. So even after 4 years, this is always a

journey and a process.
