Examine the Stressors in Your Life

Thursday, February 25, 2010

"Many of us turn to food, especially sweets, for a sense of psychological comfort. I know that for me, if I'm frustrated, frightened, or angry, one of the ways I'm always tempted to deal with it is to lose myself in a Snickers bar. But if I do, I'm not only still frustrated, frightened, or angry, but I've added to my inner turmoil by being mad at myself for what I've just done to my body.

Next time you find yourself reaching for the Coke Classic or a Hershey's bar, stop and ask yourself why. Analyze the situation. Are you craving sugar, something you know is bad for your health, as a pacifier? A kind of appeasement for something that's going on outside your body? Try to identify those things that trigger your cravings for sugar and make every effort to control them."
