It's been two months since I started my MFP journey and it has been absolutely amazing.
I am a comfort and stress eater. I have learned to handle my stress and other worries in a healthier way.
Hard work really does pay off, sometimes a lot sooner than you think!
Keep up the great work MFP members and friends (:
YOU CAN DO IT!

    happy_vegan,
    When I am stressed and overwhelmed with something, here are some of the things that I do:
    -Go for a long walk. It allows you to "unsteam" yourself. I always like to think about how lucky I am to live the life that I do. All the positive things in life. Walking also burns calories too!
    -Cook a healthy dinner.
    -When I am angry or frustrated, I just go jogging outside or on a treadmill and jog it out. One time I ran over 3.5 miles and the time went by so fast.
    -Chew gum when tempted to eat another snack.
    -Watch one of your favorite tv shows or movies.
    -Write a letter to someone you really care about and tell them why you appreciate them.
    -A good thing about me being stressed out is that my house has never been cleaner haha.
    -It's all about portion size. You can eat your favorite comfort food, but only put one serving on a small plate. Don't eat snacks out of the whole bag or eat when you are not paying attention to how much you are eating. The calories tend to add up REALLY FAST.
    -Think about your motivation to lose weight.
    -Go out and do something active with some friends or family.
