Okay...TGIF....work is almost over for the week. A long, difficult week in which you have seen your paper wealth dramatically drop as the stock market has been taking it's beating. Stress, frustration, some anger , etc. The temptation is to reach out for something that makes us feel better. On an immediate basis, the "things" that make us temporarilty feel better are "fun" things like alcohol, foods and sweets. It is very common to indulge in high-caloric foods when feeling stressed out. (Take our stress eating quiz at: http://www.stresseaterdiet.com/)
Remember that the food sources that may provide us an immediate "reward" ultimately are the ones that got us into a unfavorable weight situation to begin with and are NOT a true "treatment" for stress. Contrarily, these foods cause more weight gain which makes us feel even more stressed out.
Try to convert your stress feelings to more positive activites such as exercise and use this weekend to reflect on how you handle stress and what you can do to make your response more beneficial to your health.
