Stress Eating

So.  I've found that I am, absolutely, a stress eater.  I didn't really think about it much before surgery, but it is now confirmed:  deadlines?  EAT EAT EAT! 

Carbs! 
Nuts! 
Pretzels and hummus!
Chocolate-y-like items...(ie calcium chew or protein bar)

These things help me feel like I will function better.  carrots just don't cut it.    :)

I feel like I MUST give in to the need for my sanity.  What's that about?  Evolutionary reasons?

Still, I try to make good choices.  Get up from my computer...jump around in the hallway (literally).  I like how far I have come and don't want to jeopardize returning to the old me.   I am just pounds away from being in the "normal" range for weight -- goal!   

What do you do when you get stressed?
