Hi everyone,
I'm on a weight loss journey but I'm finding it tough to stick to my goals because I tend to overeat when I'm stressed or anxious. I've tried different diets and exercise plans, but stress management seems to be the missing key. I'm looking for some tips and advice on stress-management techniques that have worked for you.
My job and personal life can get hectic sometimes and I often find myself turning to food for comfort. I've tried meditation and deep breathing exercises but haven't found them to be effective in the long-term. I'm open to trying anything that has helped you manage stress and anxiety in a healthy way.
Thank you for your help!
Hi there,
I know how challenging it can be to control eating habits while dealing with stress and anxiety. One technique that I find very helpful is progressive muscle relaxation. It involves tensing and relaxing each muscle group in the body, one at a time, in order to promote relaxation and reduce stress levels.
Another approach that works for me is engaging in physical activity or exercise. It's not only a great way to burn calories and lose weight, but it also helps to produce endorphins which are known to reduce stress levels and boost mood.
Finally, I found distractions like reading books or watching movies to be helpful whenever I'm feeling stressed or anxious. It can be a great escape from those negative feelings, and also gives me an opportunity to relax and unwind.
I hope some of these tactics work well for you too. Good luck on your journey!
