unexpected anxiety
Aug. 12th, 2014 01:48 pmDAY SIX: list what you ate today
Really this should be an easy thing, but it isn't. Contemplating this journal entry made every food choice difficult and I put it off until I was anxious and twitchy from hunger. I have food issues perhaps. I do a lot better when it is planned out in advance. Sudden changes, waiting too long to eat, they provoke this weird anxiety where I'm unable to make choices. I'm afraid I will choose wrong somehow. To a lesser extent I have this feeling of anxious dread when confronted with menus, especially large menus.
So let's write down yesterday when I wasn't thinking about this.
- chocolate protein shake
- coffee
- iced tea
- blueberries
- almonds
- Graze snack of tiny pretzels, cashews and pumpkin seeds
- Freebird burrito - spinach tortilla, steak, black beans, pico de gallo, garlic, corn, onions and guacamole
- Reese's peanut butter cups
Today I've managed a coconut yogurt, a bag of potato chips, coffee and a diet Pepsi. Hopefully now that I've written this I can calm down and eat something better later.
( For all the other days )
