Too Warm, Too Sleepy

Filed Under diet | Leave a Comment

The day is dragging and it’s pulling me along with it. I am experiencing a lull of energy right at the moment. It’s also not helping that the area around out little cube-farm is too warm. That’s just making me even more sleepy—and I’ve found that sleepy is dangerous.

My typical reaction to when I start dozing off during a time when I should be fully aware of my surroundings (like being at work) is to start eating. And eating. And eating. It’s the ultimate snack attack. I think my body equates munching on food as a method of stay awake. It doesn’t. Getting cooler would help me be more alert, not eating.

Although I know this mentally, when I’m this warm, all willpower seems to evaporate and my hands start reaching for any bit of “food” to put into my mouth. Today has not been very successful in preventing the snacking. If I can make it through the next one and a half hours ’til the end of the day without doing more damage to my food intake, I’ll be doing good.

I think it’s time to take another walk to another section of the building where it’s a bit cooler. Maybe getting a glass of cold water with ice too. I need to put a stop to the munching I’ve been doing.
