It’s sounds cliche, but you start to see things in a whole new light when you challenge yourself.
I’ve been really busy with work this week, so I’m only catching up on my “hobby” now. One thing I’m starting to realise is how seriously stress plays a role in poor eating habits. Work pressures or personal issues so often lead to “comfort eating”. I never thought that I had that problem, but now that I’m making a conscious effort not to give in to cravings, I’ve realized that I’m not immune! Maybe that’s another reason why it was so easy to stay in shape back in High School, when stress levels were hovering around zero. As this mad world goes crazier, we’re exposed to ever-increasing degrees of paranoia. Is this a key element to the global obesity crisis? Are we just gonna get fatter and fatter as the pace of life gets more hectic?
Probably.
When I’m really struggling with something and I feel that only a chocolate could save me, turning to a handful of carrots is not gonna cut it! Does anyone have any ideas on what to stock the cupboards with when I’m in crisis mode?
Stupid carrots.
Hey Jono, why not try not to have any “bad ” stuffs in the cupboards. Then there is nowhere to run.
