Is Stress Making You Gain Weight?

How long has it been since you've been on a family picnic? How long has it been since you have taken a bubblebath? Visited a dear friend in person? When is the last time that you took a lingering swim? A relaxing vacation to a place where you wanted to go?  How long since you sat with a glass of wine and simply enjoyed music?  And when is the last time that you enjoyed a good night's sleep without laying your head on a pillow filled with worry?

Although modern day technology has taken man to a more productive world, in doing such we find that we must work harder to get everything done these days.  

In the pioneer days, all tasks were centered around the family - from milking the cow to churning the butter, from growing the crops to canning the harvest, from making candles to burning them at night while the family sat in a circle and shared songs and stories.

In today's world, we run around like ants - or worker bees, and weeks or even months may pass before we finally get a break to do something that we really want to do.  It's no wonder that many individuals feel so run down, so out of energy, so tired and restless these days - so unfit and yes, overweight. Yes indeed, stress plays a big role in what we weigh, and can contribute to much more than just a few pounds of weight gain. Stress can trigger obesity.  

Stress has reached a new level, a level to where it impacts our health, leading to a less enjoyable lifestyle, as well as a shorter life.  The symptoms below are indicative of stress overload:

- Eating disorders including weight gain, obesity, anorexia and bulimia.
- Difficulty in sleeping and/or resting.
- Irritability, restlessness, a negative attitude.
- Panic and/or anxiety attacks.
- Heart palpitations and blood pressure issues.
- Allergies
- Digestive issues, including constipation and diarrhea.

If you are experiencing one or more of the above symptoms, please get with your doctor to get your life back on track. Life is meant to be enjoyed - to be spent having picnics, watching the birds, taking photos, enjoying your loved ones, and life itself.

Stress comes in both positive and negative forms.  The key is learning what you can do to manage your stress so that you can be your best for the ones that you love in your life.

So take time for that special thing or things that you really enjoy.  Whether it's spending more time with the family pet, the kids, your partner - or drawing, skating, shopping, talking on the tele, painting or hiking, these activities and simple pleasures will help release, unlock and free stress in your life because you'll be having so much fun that you won't have time to think about the stressful things.

On a Diet? Common Symptoms to Expect - We are flooded with information dealing with the benefits of weight loss, but the negative symptoms of dieting are rarely acknowledged. Although Diet Bites has several articles dealing with this issue, we wanted to touch base once again as a reminder of what to expect in hopes of making the fresh dieter's weight loss adventure more fun than not, as well as to create a sense of awareness that could even help save a life.  Diet Bites, Dieting & Weight Loss read article
