These last few weeks have been full of drama, stress- and therefore emotional eating. So i'm going to get real with you guys and explain what's up. For more drama reasons I will mention no names.
These time last year I never would've imagined that come November of 2020 I wouldn't like where I lived. Young Naïve fresher Ette genuinely believed that she would love being in a normal flat with friends. And don't get me wrong, there's many amazing parts of it. But stuff gets in the way. And realistically no one is meant to spend effectively 24 hours a day with someone, like corona has basically forced us to. Equally- arguments surface that were never an issue before- such as what level of social distancing we can maintain, who can be in the flat, whether people are happy with you gyming or waterpoloing.... Just stuff that just wouldn't ever come up in non covid times. But alas, covid hit, and come up they did.
And i'm sure we're not the only flat with these issues
Unlucky enough for us, It's reached it's peak- and one way or another someone has to move out.
So like I said, I never assumed a year ago that I would have to deal with this now. And honestly, it's incredibly toxic, incredibly stressful and massively inducing of emotional eating. This flat stuff is a constant worry and on top of everything else: uni, corona, random charity work that I volunteered to do (I know, I'm mad) I'm stretched rather thin, and occasionally emotional eating tends to be a nice relief from that.
It does make me sad because I had my nutrition so down when I came back to uni- and because of all these stresses of weight gain, injury and now this it's kind of been lost.
I was super super fit- I'm now slightly averagily fit and have put on weight.
And I wish I could finish this post positively- but truthfully I don't feel overally positive right now.
Because of all this stress i've got into some quite bad habits. If I wake up at 7 for example, I struggle to start doing anything until about 10. This is largely because I can't start my day with a run which gets you up and ready to go. Equally- i'm spending way to much time on my phone and on netflix and like I said, the eating has got rather bad. So i'm going to try to make the effort over the next couple of weeks to start my day with some yoga+a read of a motivational book, then eat well and get my steps in- even though I can't do any intense exercise.
These are stressful times- but we've got to K.B.O
Keep Buggering On
