Compensating

I'm so tired today. It's 8:00 a.m. and the sun won't be up for another 1/2 hour! This time of year is tough for me, I need the sun to be up when I get up. I didn't really realize it until now, but I think I compensate with food. Chocolate in particular gives me lots of energy (for a short while) and I've been craving it a LOT. Trying to be good, but with Christmas coming I feel doomed. "Family eating" is bad for me. I tend to overeat at the family get-togethers. I don't know why. I'll have to think about that a lot more I guess, to figure it out. I suppose I get stressed around family really. Will have to stuff myself with veggies to compensate. 1 lb of veggies is way better than 1 lb of cookies! LOL!
