I’ve mentioned thing have been stressful lately and that it seems to be effecting my health and weight.  A friend shared an report she had heard on Good Morning America that stated that “stressed monkeys ate more fat and sugar than those who weren’t under stress.”  This article, explained a lot.  Like why after  a long day of hanging out with twin preschoolers, with all their demands, messes and crazy requests, I consume most of my calories after dark.

But, don’t use it as an excuse.  Just because, “researchers believe the monkeys that are harassed all day long by high-ranking monkeys” eat junk food just to feel good, doesn’t mean you will.  If the guilt doesn’t get you, letting yourself down will.  Resist biology and use a little psychology.  Find healthier ways to get the feel good feeling.  Call a good friend, go for walk or do your nails.  Figure out before the lights go down what makes you feel good and keep it close by.
