Turning it around

I made a  reply to Holly's post about my husband losing his job.  I mentioned how difficult it is for me to watch what I eat when I am so stressed out.  I thought about it and I thought to myself, so many other people do the opposite when they're stressed.  They don't eat as much so why do I feel the need to eat.  Since that day I have been focusing my mind on trying to think that my appetite should be less.  For whatever reason this time it's really helping me.  Weekends are always the hardest and I actually have done well since my reply. I just hope it lasts. Brenda

Brenda... I'm like that too.  When I'm stressed, I used to reach for comfort food.....  one thing right aftr the other... I find that praying my way through these times really helps tremendously.  Our Father knows our weaknesses...  and when I feel I'm not strong, I let Him become strong in me. This may sound lame to some, but He is always faithful.. (((Brenda))) Lori
