WW (Weight Watchers) Chat #171: How to Reduce Stress Eating

Comments are Disabled In the spirit of transparency, I do receive commission from mentioning some of the products in this post. Any commission I earn comes at no additional cost to you and I’ll never recommend products that I don’t use, love and believe in.

Last week during Chat #170: Time to Hit Refresh, we looked at ways to renew and revive after a historically bizarre month.

Your homework for the week was to pick a letter in my REFRESH acrostic and choose a way to refresh this week. Let’s see how you ladies did with your homework!

  • Sandi refreshed by planning a daily menu and sticking to it. She reminds us all to weigh, measure, and record!
  • Kim says track, weigh, and measure is everything…return to the basics! Also, drink 64 oz. of water daily and #bulkitup meals
  • Sandra is  going back to tracking when she first gets up. Then she doesn’t have to worry about how many points are available for the unexpected!
  • Lynn asked us to join in prayer to refresh the spirits of our healthcare workers. Amen!

Bravo ladies, you nailed it!

 

This Week’s Topic: Time to Hit Refresh

 

Not everyone reacts to stress the same way. I have friends who stop talking. Others who stop socializing or going out of their homes. I even have a couple of “civilian” friends who just stop eating. It’s just one more thing they have to deal with so they don’t. Obviously I’m not one of those people – raise your hand if you were raised like I was where a skinned knee equalled homemade brownies, cramming for finals came with a pint of my favorite ice cream and a spoon. ONE SPOON.

Eating something to comfort yourself becomes a habit. 52 years of habits become a lifestyle. Your WW Weekly has 4 great steps for ending that habit one stressful moment at a time.

Extra Credit: #worrymenot

I’m a pretty upbeat person. I’ve been accused of being a PollyAnna before.

But this last couple of years and especially this last 6 weeks there has been plenty of stay up at night, wake up in sweats, pacing the floor “what if” moments to stress about.

 

Using the 4 steps in your WW Weekly, let’s stay a few of these. If you have a piece of paper handy, go ahead and practice with me. If you don’t I suggest (highly suggest!) you find time to do this later.

For this exercise I have created a worry jar of some of my and your biggest concerns. Ready to #worrymenot? Let’s go!
