Steph....I can't agree with you more on your last comment. I can't tell you how many times I have said....."I am too stressed to watch what I eat." Who am I kidding, I get stressed just thinking about eating. But, I agree....there really is never going to be the right time to "lose weight" No time like now, baby!!!!!!
Hmmmmm....how do I deal with stress. I don't. No seriously....I try to meditate...pray....count to ten.....watch TV.....go somewhere for a cup of Java....trade one cumpulsion (over eating ) for another (shopping). Some times, I cause my self more stress than needs to be. The newest thing that I have tried to adopt in my life for dealing with people (which usually causes more stress) is not to take things so darn
personally . A lot easier said than done. Why do I believe everything is about me....because you know what???? It is not....whoa, what a relief
And I am also trying to take one day at a time. I know it sounds do cliche, but it is true. Why worry about tomorrow, when I have to focus on the here and now. Again, a lot easier to write and say than it is to actually do. And lastly, I am trying to do more things for myself by putting myself first...and hopefully easing a lot of stress that way.
Great question. Thanks for making me think!!!
