Quote: Eating is a great stress reducer and when you take that away, without putting another stress reducer in its place, then you feel agitated.
Thank you for this insight. I had never considered that eating was a stress reducer for me. I am going to actively seek out something to replace it. I don't know how I didn't see the connection.
So this a.m. instead of rushing to get up, I locked the bedroom door and gave H a little one on one time, even with the kids banging away in the kitchen. Then I told H nicely that I was going out today alone. I would be gone for awhile and that he was in charge of the kids. Hey, if he can tell me what he wants I can do the same, eh?
