Okay, so I'm reading about emotional eating and comfort foods and such, and one of the things it says to do to help is write down how you feel, try to get to the bottom of your emotions. So, I'm sitting here at work, not wanting to work. But there's nothing else to do. Out of 15 people on my team, more than half have gone home for the day, it's Friday afternoon. UGH!!! I need to distract myself with work I guess ... I was gone for a week last week, so I need to get caught back up and I'm sure my queue is HUGE! Okay, so the craving is due to boredom, and the "discomfort" of working on a Friday afternoon, when most of my coworkers have already started their weekend.
So, I'm gonna suck it up and get some work done.

oh wannabeathinggirl, I'm at work right now too so I know exactly how you feel.
I find myself hungry as well...so I'm eating apple slices...and drinking a lot of tea.
This helps me stay on track with my diet and not have unhealthy snacks.
If you plan and prepare healthy snacks at home, you'll have those to satisfy your cravings throughout the day.
Good luck.

Dear wannabe...often our brains (do to over processed foods) send a hungry signal because in all honesty it wants fluids!!! Try drinking more pure fluids like water (flavor it with some thing if you like but not sugary things) teas and lighter types of juices i .e slightly watered down or all natural. And for goodness sakes tell your healthcare giver, you want a full thyroid profile and tests. (definitive tests to) for Hasimotos (slower tyroid/disease and Graves Disease (Hyperthyroid,they are not scary but essential to any one who has a weight problem be it over or underweight) Demand it!!!!! If they will not agree switch to someone who will listen and give you what you want and need.
In what little you blogged on this entry I read 4 of 7 symptoms of possible thyroid trouble. It is even possible to have both and they switch on and off (sheesh!!)
Your fellow (former) eatery sister.
Now diagnosed and on the way to much better health and eating.
