Careers are interesting... who wouldn't be stressed with a car in your rear!
Stress is addictive, it's a choice to be stressed, it's a choice to take things seriously, it's a choice to deny, deflect, and downright lie to yourself and make up stories and make excuses, it's a choice to grab that piece of food, it's a choice to not put it down, and it's a choice to swallow it after "properly" (uh oh here comes the stories) masticating every bite into a fine mash by chewing 30 times or more, 30 choices to spit out that food.
Take it easy on yourself, it takes time and focus to sustain enough attention to mold the body into a vision you have for yourself... If you constantly spike that vision with mind poisons known as "problems" or "management", how much awareness do you actually have left to put that doughnut down, let alone be in a state of mind to chose something your much rather be doing than dreaming about tossing Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and other gross elements in the form of a doughnut into your divine cosmic cauldron?
Your overeating is tied to your choice, simple as that, you are addicted to stress, and you choose the medicine of overeating to mitiGATE and relieve that stress... there's other methods, but with all of them you will still lean into the addictive nature that is systemic to the OG stress addiction. Fighting this, fighting anything is almost always a fire vs fire fight, you want something to remain, resolve?
Give it space... that means allowing it to be, allowing yourself to just be, that is just being yourself, not being the stories you make up about yourself that serve to distract and put you in a mood of self-sabotage and self-annihilatory behavior to persist in the upkeep and to be quite frank, the hard work of doing all of that heavy psychological work and mind games to maintain--part of the way you can motivate persistence is to dualistically and ritualistically swap victimization/villinilization, or in other words you keep moving the goal posts away from you because you really enjoy all of it--You realize that all of it the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly... it's all love, and it is precisely this resistance to this love that perpetuates it, the stress, the manifestation of everything you want and do not want.
Dream the dream you want to be in, not the dream you don't, or better yet leave it and give it space as you go explore the unknown.
You got this star wars kid!
Since then I have kicked out the emotional terrorist, taken up several disciplines of biking, and my gym opened back up. I am still fighting my weight, but I can see how directly my overeating is tied to stressful events at work, how it gets worse when I can't get out riding often, etc.
It has inspired me to accelerate my plans to quit IT as a career since that's my current major source of stress.
