I got laid off on Wednesday… And my food noise has nearly disappeared

As the title says, I got laid off earlier this week. I was freaking out that day because I thought I would start overeating/binging since I will have nothing to do during this time of unemployment. However, the past few days, my food noise and stress have completely disappeared. I didn’t realize until now how much chronic stress I was under at my job. I had I spent the last one year grieving what was lost at the company I loved. My mind and heart had already let go so when the layoff happened, I wasn’t devastated. It’s crazy how much my food noise has died down since not being in that toxic work environment anymore. When I was there during the last year, I had major stress around food and high levels of food noise. Now that I’m not out of there, I feel so much less stress around food and lower levels of food noise. I realized because I was so miserable at work, I focused on the one thing I felt I could control - food and exercise. I was obsessed with my next meals and staying on my exercise routine. It was the only way I could feel survive day by day. My body is finally feeling safe and secure. I feel more at ease being unemployed than I did the last year of that job. That’s a sign in and of itself.
