Now that I've decided to do this it will be interesting to see if I am able to restrict myself to just one, as I do love chocolate.

Overeating when stressed is very common but I feel it should be channeled into other forms of energy as much as possible. We all don't want our stress levels to cause premature aging or lower our energy levels and self-esteem or even lead to certain diseases. I also tend to stay busy and preoccupy myself if feeling somewhat overwhelmed. After practicing this for several years, I don't often find myself stressing...especially over little things. I've learned the importance of channeling my energy elsewhere, towards something useful. During these stressful times, I enjoy working out, going for a run, or watching a movie. One last note, surround yourself with positive people and people who mean the most to you. Thanks again for your great post Carol, and all the others that followed. Great info here, Carol!

To relieve myself of anxiety and stress I do yoga and breathing techniques. Also taking a nice cool shower helps me too. Thanks for the article.

I use laughter and lots of it to combat stress. I watch a funny video, movie, talk with my boyfriend, JC, as he's very funny:~) For me, laughter really is the best medicine! Hey...it's nice to see familiar faces here...so cool:~) Carol — I can’t top Jannie’s comment, but she did help with my stress because she made me laugh.

I can!!! Davina - nice to meet you! And yes, you have to watch the comfort food on the couch. We are definitely conditioned to reach for it to relax. Chris - that's a good term for it - anything that reduces the anxiety is appealing - and that's why it's so hard to give up! Kathy – yes, can you relate to this image??? I can!!!

I tend to use working rather than eating this way, but the basic idea is the same.

There are two things that work for me to combat stress. Either veg on the couch with a good movie or a favourite television sitcom, or take a long walk. Well, there are others... but not good for me. Sometimes comfort food is what I reach for while I'm on that couch. Hi Carol. There are two things that work for me to combat stress.
