Your mom is a perfect example of how you can seemingly be “doing everything right” but if you’re still all stressed out that stress wreaks havoc with your body and your overall health. That’s one of the main reasons I’m doing this for myself, because I cannot truly say that I’m living a healthy lifestyle if I’m totally stressed and anxious.

I can totally relate to the emotional eating topic too – I did another experiment on myself with the Shrink Yourself program, which is geared specifically towards that (an excellent program btw) and this experiment I’m doing now with Attacking Anxiety and Depression would also apply to emotional eating – it’s just not specifically focused on that.

LOL, exactly – unless you live pretty much in a cave and have all of your daily needs provided for (and that would be kinda boring, eh?) you’ve got stress in your life. It’s just when it’s chronic and unmanaged that it causes all of those health problems, and you’re right – it even ages you, not to mention the inflammation it causes.

Interesting site too, and what you said about being too stressed to take advantage of it – that’s also why a lot of people don’t do the Attacking Anxiety and Depression course – they say “I’ll do that when I’m not so stressed out” (that’s what I told myself, too!)
