Have you noticed that when your stressed or anxious you crave sweets? There’s nothing wrong with eating sweets in moderation, but it becomes a problem is you’re eating sweets and you’re unaware of when you’re doing it. Start keeping a journal and notice when and how often you crave sweets. Is it when you’re low on energy? frustrated? bored? Once you understand your pattern you can then chose a behavior that won’t pack on the pounds. Call a girlfriend, go for a walk, read a book or magazine then ask yourself if you still want sweets. Often we crave sweets to relieve stress or anxiety, so when you replace the behavior w/ a different one your craving will go away…and the result is a reduction in calorie intake and ultimately weight loss!
