Stress

When I worked in London one of the main reasons women gave me for overeating was stress, and coming up to to the 25th of December we all know that stress abounds.
I always see difficult times as an opportunity to be more aware.
'So how can being even more aware of how stressed I am help me?' you may ask. Well if you are aware, and acutely aware of your stress then you are not running away from it, you are no longer numb to it, you are no longer suppressing it. Being aware that you are feeling stressed also allows you to be aware that you may be likely to binge. Yes, that urge to eat when full may just be round the corner lurking in a Subway, or Costa Coffee shop after just, one-to-many, fellow shoppers bumped into you, or the sales assistant was so aloof or down right rude that it sent your stress levels to the 'I need a binge' state.
So yes, be aware, the potential to binge is ever present when we are compulsive eaters / overweight and this is what we are arming ourselves against with the 'Am I hungry' handout sheet which you can download free from www.trueslimness.co.uk
Let nothing be a reason for you to eat when full. This can be your goal now, for once followed, it can get you slim and keep you slim, Christmas, after Christmas, after Christmas.
