eating and anxiety

Yes I've experienxed this before. When you eat, your autonomic nervous system kicks in to start stomach contractions, and us being anxious people, are overly aware of our bodies working to digest food. After I eat my heart sometimes beats fast as its trying to digest. Sometimes it's better to take small bites, and have smaller portions. This way you ration your intake and your body won't have to work so hard to digest a huge meal.

Do you think maybe it is based on environment? Does it get worse when you're out in public eating?

I think going out to eat is prob worse. I feel like i should eat more maybe because my husband is eating and enjoying being out. .I guess I do to until we get home or a little while after I eat then it hits me... At home I wont eat as much and prob eat food that is better for me. I am really thinking about a diet change though. Just trying to think about what foods I want to try to avoid and what foods I should maybe add. My husband is diabetic. Im leaning toward a diabetic type diet... He doesnt stick with it well.. He avoids sugar but thats about it... so maybe if I start and try to stick with a diabetic type plan we both may do better??????

I am going to try hard to do this... going back home from mother in laws on Sunday.. So hopefully Monday getting my thoughts together and meal planning some and hoping for the best!!!
