Weekly assessment

[Guest guest]

So... today I spent most of the day eating and trying to pretend that I wasn't

noticing I was eating without hunger. Then I read the post about what was

learned this week and determined to stop and notice.

This week was ruled by pressures at work. I was breathlessly busy everyday with

calls, e-mails, people coming into my office with something to talk about, HR

needing this and that, interviews, on and on and on. I did push back one time

and went to the health club to work out - and to feel better. And it was great.

But that was Thursday. The rest was devoured by pressures.

And - maybe by my perfectionism and workaholism. I've always said that work was

easier than any other relationships. I get work - I don't get other

interactions as easily. Work has job descriptions, parameters, goals,

objectives and if nothing else, a mission statement. I know the rules and where

I fit in things. I remember when I first learned about job descriptions and

when I had my first performance evaluation. I thought, " this is great - at last

I'm getting feedback and know what to change in order to do better! " Bet not

many people felt that way.

Today I've been mostly de-stressing. Wanting to comfort myself and to not work,

I guess. I guess when I'm eating I'm not working and thus I have permission to

be with myself.

Boy - I don't think I learned anything this week regarding intuitive eating.
