Dessert, anyone?

Stress, for me, leads to stress eating. This kind of eating is not the healthy eating of raw fruits or veggies, whole grains and nutrient rich snacks.  I eat to make myself feel better, so I seek comforting foods to comfort the crazy going on around me and slow down my brain that feels likes its spinning on axis.

Today was a super stressful day, with several projects happening at the same time and all of the year end yuck starting up. As much as I wanted to seek out the candy dish in the main office area filled with leftover Halloween treats, I headed outside instead. The air was crisp, and the sun was shining and it only took a few minutes to clear my head as I took a short walk around a block or two.  

Thankful today that I broke the stress snacking cycle and got a little exercise while I was at it.
