Is it the good news or the bad news that I am hunched over the kitchen sink in a conspiratorial stance while stress eating … pickles? I mean, yes, I recognize that I am eating in response to stress and I wish that I could have a different response to stress, but at least it’s pickles and not Oreos. I also wonder what genius decided that “one serving” of pickles is “about 2/3 of a spear.” I know it has never been my own personal practice when eating pickles to remove a spear from the jar, measure its length and/or weight, divide by 3 and then lop off the extra 1/3 so as not to exceed the ascribed portion, but hey, maybe that’s just me. So, if 1 = 2/3, then X = 3 divided by 2/3, which means that I just ate in the neighborhood of 4 1/2 servings of pickles. The net result of which will likely only be that I suffer from a sodium overload for a day or two.

Any way you cut it, it’s eating in response to stress. Just sayin’.
