Round 4

STRESS

I know that round four is about stress, but I read a great article deealing with being good to oneshelf. This concept would helps us all feel better about the diet process and might help us deal with the stress that this process is probably causing us.
"Stop the mery go round, I want to off"
Preserve your health-adequate sleep, exercise, and nutrition
Emotional help-laugh, keep us friendships
Find new solutions to old problems
Learn to say NO!
Be carefull about timing in changes in your life when possible.
Kill two birds with one stone=time management.

Another idea to help with stress that dieting might cause is to have an idea of what to do to stop some of the oriblems of how you eat.
Eating at night..try to eat lighter at night
eat every 4 hours so ypou are not stsarving at any point during the day
Set the table and eat at it
Eat what you are really hungry for not what you are bored for or what is hanging around the kitchen
SLOW DOWN
Eat smaller portion
and most important step that we have already taken Start a plan-stop being a procastinator.
