For about a week now she has been eating. Eating mostly junk. Here and there. In between her healthy habits. Candy. Cookies. Ice Cream. Chips. Plastic wrapped burritos. Cheese. Wonderful cheese. And so many other things.
Just more food than usual.
And she's not even hungry.
Or craving it.
Why?
That is what she is curious about.
She knows that when she goes on these types of raids. Raids of the food kind. It is because something is on her mind. Usually, it's something that is making her nervous.
As she eats, she wonders what it is she is concerned about.
Her kids?
Her husband?
Herself?
Her mom?
People?
Life?
Normally, during the day her calorie count is low. Low enough to maintain a feeling healthy vibe.
Not during the past week. She hasn't cared so much. Yet she has. She will spend the day eating her low-cal meals only to walk into the house for the evening and munch on every munchable thing in sight.
She really does know that something is on her mind. But what, exactly? That, she is trying to figure out.
It will come to her. She will figure it out. She always does. And when she figures it out, the extra eating will stop.
She knows this for a fact. It has happened before. And before. And before that.
Somehow, it all evens out. Healthy habits will kick back in. And life will go on.
In the meantime, she's feeling a bit overfed.
Wishes she would just bite her nails during these times of angst.
