Question for the ladies: how do you avoid stress/comfort eat
Replies

I've had a starving day today and still managed not to go over. I exercised for half an hour so that I could have a snack. By the time I'd done the exercise I wasnt as hungry. Other days water or low cal hot choc helps and sticks of vegetables. If ur in a savoury mood theres always air popped popcorn with salt or low cal crisps. but on the whole i try to keep my snacks under 100 cals xxx0

I still have those days. I think sometimes you have to! And if you are going to do it anyways, stressing about it won't help. i just let them occur waaaaaaay less than i used to. Try switching it up if you want to though? Do pretzels and coconut ice cream instead of chips and regular ice cream?0

It's only been a week and a half for me but I was famous for night time snacking. Lately I have been going to my 24 hour gym at night to avoid the "couch potato mode" or much on grapes or nuts if I am home. Sometimes calling a friend helps too. Once the craving passes I am glad I didn't give into temptation.0

I go ahead and have what I am *really* craving - once I put in the time to narrow it down to exactly the right thing. But I also drink massive amounts of hot herbal tea so my tummy is nice and warm and full feeling to begin with, and then I need less of the other stuff.
Also bringing servings out in a bowl, rather than just the bag/etc.0 -
Yeah - how DO you turn on your "control" center... You know what I mean. The part of you that knows that you are going to be sorry later, but just doesn't care. The part that COULD make a better choice, but gets blocked because you just don't want to make a better choice at the moment. Yeah. How DO you avoid the stress/comfort eat?
I have so been there. Where I just don't give a crap in the moment.
That's so my problem! I'm finding lately I'm so stressed that I don't give a crap. Then more time that not I feel bad after, which makes me stressed all over. Stupid vicious cycles0
