Stress Eating

[Michael]

I know everyone here is perfect but for the people that are not this may help. Years ago I went through this so the people that have not You may not understand. Stress can get to the best of us especially when You're not so well off like some are.

I can relate to stress eating and drinking. I used to have "treat night". It was meant to be a once a week thing: a few ciders and a big bag of nachos. But the one night often became two or three when stressed. I'd then feel disgusted with myself the next day.

Yeah, it was because of this I put on plenty of weight in the past. This is something I battled with for years and I also felt disgusted the next day.

Thanks for sharing Michael.  Stress eating and boredom eating both contribute to unwanted weight gain.  

Just want to share based on my experience serving clients that some would describe as rich or wealthy, they have stress too, maybe more.  Many worry about keeping what they have, paying too much taxes, worrying that someone is going to take it away of steal it from them and then how to get rid of it when they realize their inevitable death with the Grim Reaper is getting close.  They worry about their stock market holdings whereas the man of modest means may be worrying if their favorite football team is going to make it the playoffs.  Same stress just different triggers.

Yes everyone has stress. But thinking the less well off are just worried about football is a bit nieve. Honestly I wasn't just talking about the present.

Not the best example Michael, my bad and apologies.

We all my be stressed for different reasons. Does matter if You're rich, middle class or poor. Everyone is going to feel they're going through more stress than the next guy. Well off or not, that's not something that any one person can measure who's going through the most. We all need a roof over our head, food on our table, and our families. , I don't stress about my football team making the playoffs. But it is fun when they do.
