HEALTHY SOUL
STRESS EATING:
Good Stress vs Bad Stress
and How We Cope Part 1
If you are reading this because you have a rollercoaster
dieting style, or you tend to go into an unconscious
compulsive state when it comes to food, I think this will be
enlightening and helpful in some way. It’s also got some
info on the effects of stress and the difference in kinds of stress
that’s harmful and not – so hopefully this will be helpful outside
of food. As usual there are three parts, the what, why and how –
the tools.
The What
Eating in an unconscious fashion – during times of stress,
particularly of fatty or sugary foods. This eating will happen
regardless of a need for food – and usually end in a state of
shame and powerlessness. Almost like you can’t stop, or
almost like you don’t notice – like you are outside yourself or
unconscious.
