this week in pi phi: stress eating edition

holy hostess cupcakes. i have been stress eating like a monster the last couple days. and i'd like to thank my pi phi alum club for that.

work, for once, has not been the bane of my existence. i've been plugging right along, and while things have been falling apart more than i'd like them to, things haven't been incredibly overwhelming. life seems to be good - my boyfriend and i have been dating for 10 months, i'm dealing better with my brother's impending nuptials, and i've been celebrating every moment i can with my best friend, who is getting married in just about 6 weeks.

but then there's pi phi. the one thing that i look forward to and the one thing that is causing me to pull my hair out this year. i'm in charge of a lot of coordination as our club's VP this year, and what i've been tried to consolidate and make more functional is turning out to be more trouble than help. people are stepping back from their jobs and are complaining. someone made a comment that i'm pushing change because i want to control everything and not give anyone else any power. and frankly, that hurts my feelings.

i'm just as busy as anyone else. i have volunteer obligations. i have work obligations. i have life obligations. but i've made a commitment to pi phi, and if that eats up all my other free time while i figure out my job, then so be it. but i shouldn't have to do my job as VP, and the communications job, and the web admin job, and the president's job because she decides to go to italy for 14 days, followed by a 10-day trip to mexico for a friend's wedding.

so, i've eaten. it's more about portion control than what i'm turning to, as there are few things in my house that are less than healthy for me. luckily, i have the workout minutes to compensate, but it's still not a healthy habit. and frankly, i've run out of ideas of what to do instead. i can only take so many walks.
