I’m a pretty easy going guy and I usually don’t get stressed out at work, but the past couple of weeks have been brutal. I have many looming deadlines and not enough time to get everything done.
I realized today that since the stress level has gone up at work I find myself stopping for breakfast burritos or Starbucks on my way to the office. This isn’t good for my wallet or my waistline!
I guess I am trying to self-medicate with food, though I’m not sure how that helps with the stress. I do feel better with a venti latte in my hand (oh how I’ve missed those), but that is short-lived and obviously not a real solution.
I suppose the only real answer it to do something about the cause of the stress- those stupid work deadlines! They must stop! I’ll have to talk to my boss tomorrow and see what we can do to make things easier because things can’t continue like this for much longer.
Well, I’m glad I wrote this, I feel a little better already. Anyone have any tips for dealing with stress and resisting comfort foods?
