Common Stressors

What do we do when we are stressed? EAT. How do we change the behavior that we have had for years? Recognize those stressors. They are common milestones and stages of living that when experienced can predispose a person to stress. They are weddings, births, deaths, divorce and separation, illness, relationship issues, birthdays, moving, financial changes, job/career issues, parenthood and aging. The prevailing theme....CHANGE. The dreaded change creates fear and evokes strong feelings of loss of control. When we get locked down by fear mof change, we lose the ability to manage the problem and counterbalance its effects. We must recognize these fears and make a change to avoid regaining weight after surgery. This requires diligence to avoid the weight regain pitfall.
