Stress and Emotional Eating

Regardless of what is going on in your life, you shouldn't use food as a release from stress or to make yourself feel better. Eating right and fitting in a good workout will ultimately make you feel better than trying to solve emotional problems by eating. At the end of the day, life sometimes just sucks in a way that can't be reasoned with or rationalized. Emotional eating is not the answer ― the key is to take care of yourself with a strategy that is life-affirming, not self-destructive. To succeed in the weight-loss game, you have to establish healthier patterns.
