I've been thinking about why I've been so anxious lately and self-medicating with food. And I think I figured it out and I'm so excited. I was trying to compare what was different a month ago from now- a month ago I had just as much work but my stress level was way down. I was even a little surprised by how calm I was. And then it hit me. A month ago, I wasn't eating sugar. I have definitely been eating a lot of sugar lately.
So. I am going to go back to not eating sugar. More specifically, processed sugar and related items. I will eat items that have honey, molasses or other non-refined sugars but I don't eat those that often anyway. I will still have to watch my intake of those items and compare my anxiety level.
I'm excited to have had this realization.
