MYST 138 Stress Eating

Stress eating is a very common reaction to life’s stressors. It happens to almost everyone. It certainly happens to me! But how do we control stress eating?

The most basic method is to reduce the stress that is pushing us to eat. I realize that is easier said than done, but there are four common stressors–financial, health, family and career–and each can be handled. This is NOT an easy problem to correct, but ignoring it will not make the stress go away.

Everyone needs help, and the first step in finding it is asking for it. I want to help everyone, but I can’t. I don’t know what your problems are. I don’t know if I am giving you ideas that you already know (and therefore am boring you to tears) or saying things are absolutely wrong for you (and am therefore making you angry and frustrated.)

Please give me feedback on the website, either in writing or via voice message, so that this show is as helpful as possible!
