Does anyone feel like the call Center stress has caused weight gain or caused your current weight not to move?

    Stress is an enormous factor. Exercise is a big stress reliever. Yes, easier said than done...

    Since i had JUST started making the effort to walk this past week, i can't really say if being more active has helped reduce my stress or cravings. I will be moving to another desk in my row, so that could reduce some stress. I have cleaned out all the c*** that i don't need or use in my desk, so i am planning on just bringing food/drink for the day. i do have a stressful job, and i don't like the job itself, but generally i work with great people.

    Yes I've noticed exercise to relieve stress as well and just staying active

    Yeah working with great people is a stress reliever. This week I've also noticed preparing my meals and clean eating also release stress

    I think my lack of moving has caused my weight gain. I tend to skip breaks and just eat at my desk. I'm trying to set specific goals for the week; I will go outside on two breaks and walk; I will use one lunch break to walk, etc.

    When I apply CICO, no matter how much stress I endure, I lose. The problem for me is commitment and patience.
