Sitting In My Discomfort

So I have the desire to eat.  But I feel absolutely full--I’ve been drinking water all day and I feel stuffed and full.  I know I am not hungry.  But I want to eat.  I want something to munch on.  So why do I want to eat?  I guess I like to eat when I am bored.  I’m also depressed about my job, so there’s probably some emotional eating issues there too.  I’m tired; I know eating will give me a bit of energy.

Instead I’m sitting here and just letting myself want the food.  I am not going to eat--I’m full.  I’m uncomfortable.  Let me just sit here and be uncomfortable.

I am not ready to change all my habits.  I’m not ready to go overboard just yet.  But I want to make small changes and small choices.  I’m drinking water.  That’s my first step.  One small step at a time.
