Our Watchtower lesson today was on Empathy and the golden rule. It was a really good lesson. This is a problem these days with how people treat each other in the world. In addition, we all continue to face stressors that strain our patience and serenity. Stress is a major hormone in our system -cortisol- that causes our bodies to retain weight if not gain it. The hormone is used in the flight or fight reaction our bodies have. So if we do not work it off in exercise, our bodies tend to store it in the fat. The lesson today was a good reminder on being kind to each other. I know my problem is emotionally eating and so being kind to each other will help lessen my inclination to head for the pizza.
