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!!!
