Interesting Discovery

And probably why I don’t program for a living any more.

Starting a week before the break, I started doing some programming.  I teach it, show code, but don’t often go out of my normal box.  However, the Windows Phone has made me want to change that.

My discovery:  programming makes me eat.  And not in a healthy way.

I am a stress eater and have been all my life, which is why I am overweight.  Getting the lapband hasn’t solved the stress eating, but it does limit me and I have learned to make as healthy a choice as possible.

I am working through the “Shrink Yourself Program” and Diabetes Daily “Diabetes University” so try to solve some of my problems – uncontrolled blood sugar and the stress eating thing, and I’ve been doing some reading on the internet since I realized what the issue is.

One of Scott Hanselman’s posts helped too, because if he get stressed by the whole technology thing but deals with it certainly I can. 

You’ll see more about this issue.
