I have the horrible habit of saying, "Tomorrow I'll... <insert particular food thing I'll stop/start doing>". Then I get mad at myself when I don't. Sometimes I blame this on my job, which is really stressful right now. When I do that, it makes me think of this clip from the movie Airplane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeI5ke0BENw.
In some ways this is the wrong time to try to tame my demons, but it's also the right time. I have to learn to stop using food as a drug, a weapon, a comfort, a salve. But while I try to learn how to stop stress eating, and hopefully go back to a more healthy diet, I also need to give myself compassion for when I don't always meet the task head on... sometimes a piece of chocolate is the reward for making it through a long day. I just have to make it a piece, and not a whole bar!
