Think Before You Eat--And Stress!
Stress combined with questionable eating habits can pack a powerful one-two punch. The truth is, though, stress often leads us to poor eating habits, which can then lead us to weight gain and discomfort in a very short amount of time.
Our personal reactions to stress and anxiety are highly individual, but when it comes to diet and health, the consequences of stress can often be uncontrolled eating or poor eating habits. This is true whether the source of stress is from a major life-changing event, or the residual build-up of a number of difficult personal events. For those of us who tend to react to stress by eating more (that‘s me, and I often don‘t notice it while it‘s happening), it's very good to focus on some positive reactions that won't lead to a cycle of unwanted weight gain and depression.
Add Some Structure to Your Life
If you're going through a tough time and your life is hectic, chances are you don't take much time to plan regular meals, don’t get enough sleep, and your energy level is low. All of this makes it very easy to just eat whatever is available and quick - poor food choices and high calorie snacks.
