Hudson_Hawk Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,555 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 11/2/2006	Seriously. I don't know if it's stress or what, but I can't stop filling my face!!! I don't feel stressed, I feel like I've got a good handle on the wedding (18 days away, 15 until family gets here) and the pre wedding prep, but I must have some repressed anxiety going on. I've also caught myself biting/picking my cuticles several times in the past week. Anyone else having these issues??? That's Mrs. Hudson_Hawk to you... Over and out.

Jen_91909 Cut Rock Total Posts: 118 Last Post: 10/23/2009 Member Since: 4/24/2009	Hudson, I think you're probably dead on that it's anxiety/nerves/stress that may be more repressed. That's not to imply it's anything too serious, but with your wedding so quickly approaching you're bound to have lots of feelings going on and it's a common comfort and/or distraction to turn to food. I had some struggles with emotional eating in the past, so I relate to how you're feeling now. Just do what you can to take care of yourself (massage, walks, etc) in the upcoming weeks.

mayachel Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,282 Last Post: 11/25/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2008	I can totally relate. I started working out on a regular basis, about three weeks ago. One week ago, for the first time I ever I began running every other day. It makes me ravenous! So far, I've been focused on the miles...(ha! I can run 3/4 of a mile) but today i realized that for 10minutes of running, I'm nearly doubling my calorie intake in the next meal! Not so useful in the whole weight loss efforts... I've found drinking as much water as I can stand throughout the day, does help. And I've gotten better at having tasty, but healthy munchies around (cherries, walnuts, yogurt etc...) So if you are going to graze...graze healthy! You may just bore yourself into fullness.

That's ME exactly right now as well! I've been wanting to stuff my face non-stop, but I worry I wont fit into my dress. So I bought a huge big thing of rice cakes and I munch on that + celery ALL DAY long! I am feeling zero outwardly stress or anxiety, but every now and then I get butterflies in my tummy! I think I'm just mad excited. ETA: Also can't work out because of the damn sprained ankle. Blahhhh...gotta keep avoiding food for the next 11 days, which is going to be difficult as family begins to trickle in and meals end up being predominantly out in restaurants.

For me, a good run or some kind of workout helps me when i get on a bad eating schedule. It seems to turn my whole outlook around, and it couldn't hurt, looking and feeling good on your wedding day is important! I know once I start working out, I make better eating choices. Maybe it's just me but it's worth a shot! Good luck to you! It's almost here! Hang in there! Gettin' hitched on June 26th!

SeattleSweetheart Cut Rock Total Posts: 220 Last Post: 10/15/2009 Member Since: 9/11/2007	I've been feeling the same way so I just grab my water bottle each time I want to eat something. So far it's helping for the most part, but not all the time. I just keep reminding myself I don't want to gain any weight and sometimes a sugar craving is the first sign of dehydration. *Yipee! I'm Mrs. Taylor as of 7/25/09!*

brightstone Cut Rock Total Posts: 271 Last Post: 11/5/2009 Member Since: 8/18/2008	I wish I were just filling my face with food and having repressed anxiety instead of where I am at. I am all to aware of my anxieties and feelings - it feels like none are repressed after years doing therapy with a great psychologist (partly to learn more about me and partly for my training) and being in the field myself. It can be a curse to be aware of too many things going on in you at once (confusing!) but, in other ways, a blessing because if we all continued to act on our unconscious drives we'd be in big trouble! Hang in there! xo Bright

Kudos to you on your running! I always found running to music helpful when trying to build up endurance. I'll set a goal of running for say 3 songs at 4.0 or 5.0 speed. If the average song is 4 minutes long then you've run for 12 minutes and probably close to a mile if not more! It's really not the distance that gets you, it's the amount of time you're running. That's Mrs. Hudson_Hawk to you... Over and out.

GoodSoul Ideal Rock Total Posts: 539 Last Post: 11/3/2009 Member Since: 9/5/2008	My wedding is about 2+ weeks away and I was chowing down In & Out last night savoring every moment of it. Can't help it. Due to my rash, I couldn't really exercise as the itch was killing me. I also didn't think that I was stressed. I've been trying to go for massage and acupuncture... and it helped quite a bit on my rash.. but I still can stop eating. I totally understand your situation. Ok, once I finish my breakfast (eating my unhealthy breakfast as I type), I shall eat more healthy and in smaller but more frequent portions. This time I am SERIOUS!

Thanks! Each time, I've been running with DF (until I cut out, and he keeps going) so I haven't tried music yet. And he has stated the same thing about endurance vs. speed/distance. The 4 min. per song idea makes sense for trying to pace out and run longer.

The redness is gone and it only itches when I'm really hot so there's an improvement. YAY To PS Dusts!! However, the skin is still flakey and rough. Make up still cakes up badly. Seeing the dermatologist tomorrow to see he can help. I am glad that I had a healthy lunch. Just have to see if I last through the afternoon without my dark chocolate! Are you almost done in all your wedding prep?
