How many of you guys eat when your stressed? It works both ways with me. I know when the last time I was living in NC I gained almost thirty pounds because I was in a horribly abusive relationship. When I moved back up here I lost most of it. But recently due to starting back up with school I've gained like almost ten pounds back! I am frustrated! ( Read more... )

I am DEFINITELY a stressful eater. I keep telling myself that food is only fuel, but it is always so much more to me! Like a snack pack will make the day better or something.

Me too! I don't know what the answer is besides not keeping fatty snacks in the house.

if you know how to knit or crochet, you could try doing that. that what i would do while i was dieting, to keep my mind off being hungry (because i really wasn't hungry- i was just stressed or bored). that or if you like hot tea... i would drink LOTS of hot tea whenever i felt stressed, because it is calming, and gives you the idea that you are full. (they even make stress tamer teas)...

You need to make sure to block time for just you to do whatever you want. I know it's hard, but even 30 minutes a week for a bath, or 5 minutes a day for a cup of coffee in the morning. Focus on the enjoyment of that time, if you can.

If that doesn't seem to be working for you, you can try excersising. Even if it's parking farther away from the door when you go out, taking an extra flight of stairs or two, the little bit of excersize should help tremendously.
