I was wondering how everyone else deals with stress and what you do. Yoga, reading or whatever. I would like to know, so please send me some ideas. I am staying on course pretty good and I hope to reach my 260 lb goal this Monday. They should make a pill that would cure this craving for chocolate when I am stressing. A pill that would make me crave something else, like maybe sex or lettuce.. I know I am rambling, but this seems to help when I am stressed is to pour it all out to my blogger buddies. I think when I get to busy to post is when I get really stressed out. Oh well, as my grandmother always says little girl pull your self together no one said life was going to be a cake walk.
Here is the update on my latest trip to physical therapy. I went yesterday for an hour and he really worked my knee. I was sore when I got through and was giving him a really hard look. You know this reminds me of a blog that I read a while back about a personal trainer. This physical therapist was really cute when I started this thing, but now I would like to hit him with the weight machine. I will have to give him credit though it is helping so I will wait to hit him for a while.

I had an epiphany a few months ago during a very stressful time of family crisis. I craved exercise! It really helped with temporary stress relief.
I sometimes feel like all I am is my job...doesn't help that I live where I work so a large part of my "job" invades all parts of my life.
How do I deal with it?
-Take time away
-Get involved in activities that are not work related
-Have friends outside of the job.
-Take time for me everyday
Stress, hmmm, I usually deal with it head on to be honest. I hate the feeling like something else has control and is applying stress so I usually work harder at it and fix it. But not all situations can be dealt with that way as we don’t control everything as much as we'd like to. I don't bring my work stress home with me. For whatever reason I am one of those that can shut it off when I leave work and not think about it again until I get there the next day. Not everyone can do that, not sure why I can. My wife is the opposite, she will bring it home and fret over it and let it bring her time at home down. Not sure there is a remedy to that, it is who she is. Your Grandma's advice seems to be the best to be offered. Whatever it is that stresses you; what can you do to make it better? Good to hear the physical therapy is working for you!
Take care, have a good weekend

I also eat when I am stressed; however, I am learning to exercise, read, or hang out with friends!
For stress, I do anything that keeps my hands busy to keep me away from food, like painting my nails, crocheting, gardening, laundry. I'm a stress eater so I really struggle with this also. Take Care!
