Life's storms

As life has become increasingly hectic I've found myself wanting to turn to food for comfort. Which is what I've always done when I get really stressed out. I eat. I take my family down with me during these stressful times, because we eat out a ton, and our cabinets are full of garbage. (I mean that literally as well, when I'm stressed the house also goes to hell.) Anyways, I'm having a really tough time being on prep and not being able to turn to my vices. I'm so grateful to be confronted with this challenge though! I mean that seriously. Emotional eating has been a huge issue for me. In the past, if I had a few stressful months in a row(new baby, new business, family issues) I could easily throw on 15 pounds in 2 months. I kid you not. Emotional eating is still very much a reality in my life, but I plan on changing that. I relistened to Kori Propst's, Emotional Eating pod cast and it is so helpful. Bottomed line, life is humbling. Sometimes I actually feel like I have a few things figured out, and then the storms of life hit and I realize just how weak I am. Yes, I am stronger than I was last year. No doubt about that. But man oh man do I still have a hell of a long way to go!!!! Never let anyone fool you, that bc they've reached a certain level of fitness or they've conquered their self-control demons, that they somehow have life figured out. Life will continue to humble us all, and most painfully when we're prideful. It's my goal to stay grounded and to keep my priorities straight. I just want to live my life in a way that I can look back with pride when it's all said and done.
