What is a good way to curve this? When I have had a very stressful day with my kids I start eating. It's not so out of control that I down a bag of chips or eat a box of cookies. I eat like a bunch of little snacks, like candy bars, fruit, or the worst is corn nuts. Anyone else go through this and have found a better way of resisting the temptation to eat when feeling overwhelmed?

I just realized recently that I am a "stress eater". I have gained so much weight since my last baby and nothing I did would help. I'd lose a little but then find myself gaining it right back and more. It's good that you realize it before it gets out of control and you gain a lot of weight before knowing it. I've lost 25 lbs now and recognize when the stress level is high that I need to grab an apple or an orange instead of chips or cookies. It was hard at first, but always keep healthy food choices handy....because you know that stress could pop up at any time. Also, take some time out for yourself...go for a walk, read a few chapters in a good book, put some headphones on for a while and just relax. Take time to breathe and always take time for yourself....don't let food pacify or comfort you. Good luck.

I recognise precisely what you are pronouncing, I've been by way of it myself. My simplest recommendation might be to simply preserve your self busy with different matters, or while you feeling like downing a entire lot of meals, simply give up your self, take a step again and feel approximately the quandary. Food would possibly not support the precise dilemma that's inflicting your emotion, it is going to simplest masks it briefly. If there may be not anything that you'll do to repair the disorders you are feeling down approximately, check out calling a buddy or speaking to any person approximately it. You would even check out distracting your self- get out of the residence, escape from the meals, opt for a protracted stroll or uncover some thing that you just revel in. A lot of it's approximately will energy, mostly I simply devour mindlessly however you've got fairly received to get within of your brain and simply stroll away. Best of success with this!

try taking a power walk or doing some form of exercise before reaching for the chips. Exercise is an excellent treatment for stress. I power walk talk. I walk fast and punch at the air and talk our my frustrations passersby think I am nuts but I won't be climbing a tower to pick off my co- workers. Works great for me.

Okay, the first thing you need to do is get off the rollercoaster you are riding day in and day out. Your kids have found out how to push your buttons. Time to regain control Mommy. You will graze yourself right out of your good health and into a moo moo. A firm pop on the bottom and a loss of the things they like the most for a while will fix things right up. No matter the age, they are a product of their environment and only you can fix it. Good Luck Hon.

i personally think the best way to curb the temtation to eat is to take your stress and frustration out in the gym. not only is it a great way to get your endorphins working (which make you happy!) but you also lose all the weight you may have gained from snacking.
good luck!
