I’ve never seen myself as a stress eater. I was always just an eater. I ate for /any/ mood because, hey, I love food.
Today I’m stressed and I’ve been chowing down on my snack foods of mixed unsalted nuts and strawberry frosted mini-wheats. It could be worse. I could have one of the giant bags of Hostess powdered donettes that I used to scarf or a giant thing of Doritos with bean dip.
It’s funny, I’m stressed because of the wedding, but it’s not directly because of the wedding. It’s because my cousins are selfish and I wouldn’t have realized that without the wedding plans going on.
DF says this is why he never cared for weddings. People expect simple things from others, like… oh, to show up. And that becomes a difficulty those expected people simply can’t accomodate therefor causing strife in the family, etc.
Le sigh. I think I’ll go run on the treadmill to clear my head.

Don’t let the wedding stress you…find an outlet that you can always turn to and USE it…you will save yourself much heartache later on. My best friend turned into the biggest monster in preps for her wedding…me and my other friend flew all the way to the other side of the country to be part of her wedding and within the first hour we were on the ground we wanted to leave. This is a big moment in your life so be sure to enjoy every moment that leads up to it…it won’t be “perfect” but in the end it will be everything you ever wanted it to be…so relax and enjoy every moment of getting to be the Bride

I always find that popcorn with spray butter is a good food to snack on when you’re stressed. You can eat a lot for just a few points. I also found this tasty white cheddar seasoning to sprinkle on the popcorn.
Also the one thing I regret about our wedding is being stressed and not telling people what I truly wanted. Instead of telling my mom that I didn’t want this fancy caterer, I let her have her way because it was easier. I really wanted a casual reception with some really silly snacks that had special meaning to us. I wish that I had stood up for what I truly wanted. Sometimes you do need to be a “bridezilla.”
