Guess who’s still struggling with this?
I’m under a lot of stress. Some of it good, some of it bad, some of it exciting. It is enough to make me double up on my meds. The stress of maintaining my title as the world’s most brilliant, hilarious and general bad ass blogger is a lot, y’all. (Kidding. I’m not comfortable mentioning here what is truly bothering me. I think it is one of those things that once I get through it I’ll be able to write about it. Right now it is too raw.)
But I digress.
I truly sometimes worry that stress of reaching my goals and that of the pressure I put on myself may kill me before I get to them. At Non-Con a few weeks ago, JC Little spoke about this beautifully. Her words (and pictures) cut through me.
When I think about the stressors, I sometimes feel like I can’t breathe.
So I’m overeating. And trying not to. But even when I’m perfectly full, all I think about is eating more for that few minutes of distraction from what is truly bothering me.
I’ll never understand people who lose their appetites in times of trouble. All I want to do is stuff those feelings down with mounds of cheese and pasta and bread and pumpkin spice everything.
Speaking of which.
If you’re going to eat your feelings, you should probably do it this way:
It’s a pumpkin brie dream world. And I will cut you if you touch mine.
Notice I said “try.” That means you have a bite and I’ll have the rest.
Since I’m not really feeling like sharing, you can make your own by laying Crescent rolls flat on a cookie sheet. Place the wheel of brie (We cut off most of the wax rind because that stuff is safe to eat but straight up nasty, yo.) Put heaping spoonfuls of pumpkin butter evenly on top of the wheel and pull the sides of the Crescent Rolls up and over the cheese to make it into a closed pastry. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-35 minutes. Serve with crackers, apples, or grab it with your grimy paws that can’t wait to stuff it into your brie hole.
I made two. One is never enough.
You know you want some. Buy some brie.

Holy cow, YUM! Because seriously, YUM. Let’s get together and have girly girl conversation and eat our feelings plus all this delicious Brie, m’kay??!!
Works for me!
I’ll join ya, sista. I’m currently drooling over a Blueberry Lemon Glazed Doughnuts recipe – look! I have all the ingredients! Except blueberries, but I can use raspberry jam instead! – which is soooooooo not the answer. But I’m justifying the whole experience by telling myself “I’ll just half the recipe.”
That sounds gorgeous. If you need a taste tester, you know where to find me.
That looks delicious…it nearly distracted me from the pile of work I’m ignoring by surfing the net. *sigh* Oh, the overwhelmption!
If you eat some, the overwhelmption is better. Promise.
yum…gonna try.
It is so the yum.
Oh Wow! That sounds phenomenal. I’ve walked both sides of the stress fence… eat to feel better and be so stressed I cannot eat. I much prefer the latter.
I don’t get that. FEED ME!
It’s only happened a couple of times… when I was in college and both of my grandfathers got really sick within a week of each other, when I got divorced (good bye baby weight) and last fall when I broke up with a guy… this fall, my grammy being really sick and my dad having a go of things, is apparently not enough!
Sorry you are having a rough fall. :(
Thank you… I wasn’t trying to be Debbie downer… from this perspective it’s almost comical, because it’s like, “phew! I’m gaining weight, so I must not be THAT stressed yet!” :-)
Are you kidding me? I wrote a whole post about the stress I’m experiencing and my desire to eat my feelings! It made me feel a little better to know other people cope by abusing food!
Good God, this needs to be made in my house. Pronto. I’m sorry you are feeling the need to stress eat. I’m the same way and have never once been so stressed I couldn’t eat.
I’m a big time stress eater too! Don’t understand how people can go without eating. Love crescent rolls so I must try this.
Christin, it’s delicious. Enjoy!
