Stress...wow...What a difference a few months makes!

Don't know where to really share this, so I figured I'd share it in the forum of "my people"...

I have a very stressful job and have to spend the work week away from home. Many many night pre-op, after a stressful day, I couldn't get to a mexican food place or Taco Bell fast enough. My typical order would be a 2 lb carne asada burrito with EVERYTHING and chips. At Taco Bell, it would be their new XXL Steak nachos, and of course since I would starve on the 5 minute drive home, I'd always have to get an extra burrito or taco to get me started. I was like a drug addict or alcoholic who couldn't wait to get home so I had to start "using" in the car!

Fast forward a few months...

Work, more stressful than ever. Being away from home, sucks a** big-time. The difference? I bee-line home and log onto VST to see what I've missed throughout the day. I interact with some really fantastic folks who "get" me. I make plans for the future. I look forward to the future.

And oh yeah, if I remember... I go over to the fridge and pull out a greek yogurt and feel completely satisfied.

Thanks you guys, seriously!

I like that we have this site for the very same reason!! Stress relief, a place to be with people that get it. Thank you for articulating it so well:)

Lol Moses. I get that feeling especially with stress, I wish I could eat a yogurt but it doesn't sit well. I guess I need to find a whole new stress release my whole west Hollywood corner thing is too slow and doesn't help. Lol jk it does.
