As a young child, I was skinny. As I grew older I found myself always having problems with my weight, I was Emotional Eating. The doctors didn’t call it that years ago but that is what it was.
As I grew into adulthood I found that my weight continued to go up and down, if I was overwhelmed or stressed I would snack on anything that I could find.
Now that I am older I have found that emotional eating goes right along with taking better care of yourself.
I have found that even though it is harder to lose weight as you get older, I do not just reach for another bag of chips every time I am overwhelmed or busy.
Learn to say no with ease and grace.
Make an effort to get outside every day.
