started my weight loss journey again on Monday but I have had a bunch of stuff come up that really is taking a toll on me and I'm feeling down. I have kept up with eating healthy and working out but Im scared I'll end up back tracking. Any advice on how everyone deals with their stress?

    Sounds like you could use a support group girl!

    Are you prone to overeating? You'll only get off track if you LET yourself get off track! I always found journalling it out to help me stave the food dragon! Feel free to friend me and we can chat about it!

    Everytime im faced with stress or adversity. Iv found the gym helps me deal with it. Taking my frustrations out. It seems to help.

    I read somewhere that food acts as a sedative so certain people are prone to that uncontrollable urge to calm themselves with food. I will sometimes give myself one splurge- some chocolate or soy ice cream then take a bath-- or if you can afford it- treat yourself to a massage. Call a friend to discuss the stressful situation- always helps- even though I am prone not to. Try to remember that it will just make being down even more difficult if you don't keep up with your routine and stay on track. Best wishes...
