Is your Behavior Driven By Stress?

A million times YES to this!!! We CHOOSE how we react to every situation. As a stress eater, I have relatively recently become aware of this behavior, and I'm starting to change it. I have to stop myself and take a breathe. I ask myself why I'm eating, and if it's really going to help. (The answer is always NO!) Now I'm working on a plan of attack INSTEAD of shoving my face full of food. Besides that, I know this is a learned behavior, and I'm NOT going to teach my children that eating is an appropriate way to deal with stressful situations!
