Stress

[bladespark]

Stress, stress, stress.

It's probably a good thing I put on a few pounds over the last couple of months. Because this next week is probably going to take them right off again.

Want to lose weight? Get an acidic stomach, too much work, and a tendancy to fret over things. Watch your appetite vanish!

Take a chemistry degree ;) Eight-hour lab sessions when you're not organised enough to eat breakfast are a great way to get the weight off.

How are the cats?

I hear ya! Although I tend to put on weight under stress, due to eating after the fact to ease the tension, and probably from the stress chemicals/hormones that cause weight gain. Bugger all! *LOL*

Appetite vanish, yes, but I do too many things to not take at least a small meal at the appointed hours. Otherwise I know it's going to come back and bite me when I'm in the first hour of a three-hour class and my stomach decides that it would like food NOWplzthx.

What about an already weak stomach combined with morning sickness? Gawl, I lost something like ten pounds.

I guess I have it lucky. Eating properly is a control/comfort thing for me. So when I'm stressed, I force myself to get hyper organized about food, plan and cook healthy meals and use that as a touchstone to recenter. That said, my body weight really reflects mostly on the weather, I think -- as soon as it got cold, I started putting on pounds even though I didn't really eat much more.
