In the summer of 2018, you were the calm, knowledgeable, encouraging voice who guided me to health. And now you’re helping me keep what we earned. Thank you!❤️
Thanks for the great video, Dr. Becky! I love saying that "sugar begets sugar" and the more you have it the more you will want. I love your tips. I also like reminding people to, "Keep your eye on your why." I love your term of stoppers! Very practical. A couple other tips I encourage people to do is to: Assess your previous meal...was it well structured with enough fat, fiber, and protein to keep you full and satisfied until the next meal? Assess your hydration...many times, like you said, drinking something can take the edge of any hunger or craving. I also like to talk ask myself 3 questions when I want to stress eat: #1: "What's my trigger thought here?" For me it's often after I get my young son down to sleep and want some "me time." Then I ask: "What's the underlying need or emotion that needs addressed?" Usually that is just needing to de-stress and relax. Lastly, I ask "How can I address this emotion without food?" Often just taking a hot shower, brushing my teeth, getting a sparkling water, and watching some Netflix to unwind does the trick just fine.
Great timing for this video, too. I'm doing a coaching call today focused around emotional eating so will point people to this video as an additional resource.
It is more difficult to keep junk food out of the house during lock down when you have bored children running around. It is the ultimate strategy though. .... if the junk food isn't present it obviously cannot be consumed. The minty chewing approach seems more achievable and simple. I am going to it try that later today when I break my fast. Fantastic practical advice as always. Thanks for sharing.
Brush your teeth after eating. Very effective. Do some physical exercises when craving. I promise it'll knock it out and has huge benefits! Thanks Dr. Becky.
Thank you for the calm and logical way you explain things. I also find that keeping sugars and other bad stuff out of the house is the best stopper. Also that drinking flavoured teas are better than having multiple cups of coffee with added milk, sugar substitutes etc. Please keep posting videos to see us through this tought time. Stay hopeful and safe!
YEAH, i have some trouble for the step 3, bcz i work on a grocery store, and girl, i live in my job, so.... plese someone help me. :) Note: i would like to mention SOMETHING THAT IT HELP ME: DO NOT GET BORED. BCZ IF YOU ARE BUSY WORKING, IT IS HARD TO KEEP EATING.
I've noticed grabbing more to snack on during the pandemic due to being home more. Your video is going to be helpful to many! Best tip I think is keeping junk food out of the house. Thanks again one more time!!!😃👍
i love your videos, but nothing's helping. my cravings don't go away. it's not hunger, it's a feeling of overwhelming dissatisfaction. it's like a dam with all this pressure building behind it. i can't concentrate, can't sleep, can't think, can't complete another task until i satisfy it. :(
The gum thing is what i did all the time!! It isnt hunger nor cravings for me. I feel like garbage, I'm stressed, my anxiety spikes and my depression hits harder especially with everything in my life. Also trauma and EDs. When i fought my ED and was loosing weight i chewed gum. Almost constantly. It kept me distracted, it is the stimulation. I eat because it is the only thing that makes me happy... Idk what else to do emotionally when I'm always tired or depressed. What is worst is it isn't junk food either. It is just food. I just eat. Meat, salad, yea sometimes junk but not always, fruit veggies. I am in a deficit but my body refuses to loose. It feels hopeless.. it really does. Only 2 things worked before. It gave me structure and control and i understand the benefits but it was also a lot. Imma go back to the gum, to my protein shakes also. Get myself back into those habits then continue.
Stopper is the best thing Dr Becky invented but I still haven’t found one. A cigarette used to be my stopper but I am still searching for a new one. Sigh...
Just a few helpful tips, some positivity and encouragement and I've got my focus back! I do not want to lose ground! My lockdown mantra. Thank you Dr Becky
Thank you Dr. Becky for a much needed video for me. I will take this information and apply to my life right now. I have definitely been overindulging in Dopamine’s during my lay off. Thanks for the reminder that I owe it to myself to have more self control. It’s bad when your joggers are getting tight😂
Thank you so much dr Becky! I am really working on my relationship with food esp since i am in med school right now. Stress eating leads me to carb crashes, fatigue and brain fog. Hopefully, i get to where u are with food.
Very good reminders! I like the "stoppers" idea. Chewing gum is not for me, but I love tea and I drink lots of it. Great video, as always. Thanks, Dr. Becky!
Dr. Becky Thankyou. This is such a great time to have this video up considering the stressful times we're all going through right now with the Covid-19, myself for one, and not to mention other stressors we have in life. You have such a calming way about you that I really appreciate.This is such a great video for realization as to what we've been doing, what we need to do, and the reason why. AND, I would not have guessed that you had been overweight. Thankyou so much for bringing that to our attention, especially for those of us who are. It helps us feel hope. Great simple tips for distractions too. Again Thankyou. Stay safe and well. 😊🌺
I find a good stopper is to put down my bag of crisps and pour some spinach into a bowl and eat the spinach one leaf at a time. It takes long, it doesnt taste sweet, its healthier and tbh I really like spinach and it will calm me down and i wont feel the need to eat more after i finish.
Dr Becky, i have not craved sugar and flour, but have craved more healthy fats. I was at my ideal weight but have gained 4lbs, not much but enough to stop.
People bought me chocolate for Easter, I gave some to a few homeless people.,. but still had lots, and I feel too bloated, then went for exercise on bike and fell off 😂😂😂😂, so much for trying to stay healthy.... where did my motivation for running go or swimming? I can't find it 😥😥😥, if I pray, do you think I'll look hot again? Xx
I do feel that way, thankyou for the tips. I feel like I go trough fasting then want treats. It's a battle. I'm slim and fit but as I'm 49 I bliatvand put on belly weight fast and then loose it. Thank you for your tips!😊any suggestions?
Dr. Becky!! Excellent video! I have gone on a weight loss journey for the past almost a year! losing almost 20kg!!!! and reaching my goal, but now during quarntine and lockdown i have been struggling. I used to fast walk three times a week for 30 minutes!!now i fall back. I haven't gained to much but it has been difficult!!! you really inspire me!!! please continue to do so we/i neef it! Thanks soooo much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Merci beaucoup Dr Becky. So far so good for me but i’m carefull and i need video like yours for my motivation. You are the best, I like you very much. Joëlle, Canada.. ;-)
I’ll admit this , I eat the wrong foods when I’m bored , furious and feeling down . Also if it’s too cold 🥶 outside !! This woman’s voice is so beautiful and Heavenly !!
Thank you for your encouraging videos. Your "stoppers" are ones I've used for a while. I also brush my teeth after supper especially and that really helps me as that clean feeling mouth isn't as tempted to take in snacks! I love drinking peppermint tea also. Thanks for your great advice! PS I'm originally from Nebraska, and live in north western Iowa now only about 10 minutes from Nebraska. (God's country!!)
thank you for your helpful tips about how to stop stress eating. these tools are really helpful for those that are struggling with overeating but who don't necessarily have a full blow food addiction or binge eating disorder, which I have found on my own path requires a bit of a deeper approach. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. and helping so many people.
thank you, this video is so helpful for me who is coping with emotional eating with its ups and downs since I AM 14 YO, I AM NOW 37 , I AM NOT OVERWHEIGHT, AND EAT HEALTHY FOODS MOSTLY, BUT NOW I am really confused and your channel is helping.
Great presentation, DB. I completely agree with trying super-hard not to stress eat so you don't lose ground, feel like you've failed so why not just totally surrender. When all of this is over, I want to look and feel good ... be set to proudly carry on. Thanks for putting all of the feel-and-look-good options out there. Love love love.
I don't know if this counts, but, my PC had a trojan virus and I was fighting for my PC and all my personal information, and in the end, won. I was munching on goldfish the whole time, 840 calories.
I never crave sugar only salty food. When my depression is bad I turn to food. I’m 5 foot 4 and weigh 224lbs. I’m done being like this. I want to lose weight.
All I hear in my head now is Big M&M Peanut packs 😁 In Australia anyways, they build a small Supermarket full of Ultra Processed 'Foods' right near everyone's homes, so if you don't keep it in your home, then it's not far away at all. Grrr
Thank you for this video! I am definitely a stress eater. I have been “keto” since January and this is tough but I’m trying to retrain my habits, this video has great timing. Thanks so much!
What about when you live with a husband and kids who can enjoy junk food in moderation and aren't fat or addicted. How do you keep those foods out and tell them you're the only one that matters and you don't want that food in the house. This is great tips otherwise but what do you recommend in that case?
My problem is that I eat a lot of food which makes me sick later. Not necessarily junk food even healthy food I just eat a lot when I'm stressed and end up throwing it up later because of how sick it made me.
Soo good! Thank you again for practical advice. I grew up with “instant gratification” from candy. I always had bubble gum in my purse in high school. Often used a quarter to buy a bag of candy so my stash wouldn’t run out. To quench my thirst, I would turn to Kool-aid or coke- hardly ever remember drinking water! It’s taken me years to be intentional in limiting sugar intake. I hated dark chocolate in past but now it is my go to splurge, and strangely I’m not tempted to binge on dark chocolate. I like your suggestion of mint gum (or maybe a breath mint) and hot tea (again mint is great favor here).
Yeah , there is something about dark chocolate, so satisfying, you don't need to over indulge! Make some Keto fat bombs, be mindful (pause at one, wait before you take a second because they are gooood) and you'll find won't over indulge once the satiating fat kicks in.
Great video and advice. I cut bad carbs and sugar from my diet around a year ago. One of the side effects was I stopped craving sweet stuff when I was stressed. It didn't stop me wanting to snack but I now have some nice cheese and nuts as snacks and it works for me. Also they fill me up so I can't keep eating them! Good luck to anyone trying to change their lives for the better It works! Keep doing it until it is the new normal!!!
My mom,, currently 75 years young, would always say to me, "this too shall pass!" I'm going to tell her this latest version of that saying! She's going to get such a kick out of it 🤣 You are such a wonderful lady Dr Becky, thanks for sharing!! Love you guys and your channel(s).
I had significant change at work that completely de-stressed my life. Since then I have managed to follow Dr. Becky's advice and I am shedding weight. I have lost 30 pounds already but more importantly I continue to lose weight steadily every week just by completely cutring carbs and intermittent fasting. Dr Becky is out on her own with the best dietary advice IMHO
I get you. It's kinda gross but what kept me from eating junk in situs like that...picturing nasty things on the foods. Like that killed my desire. lol I'm revisiting that 'tool' now. 😳
Debbie Lynn - true, that was also my strategy BUT I am a frontliner at a hospital- so now we are getting individual packaged meals, nicely sealed EVERY Day,... I shouldn’t really complain- but 😩
@@ThrivewithJesus oh myyy ...thank you for your service!!! Be safe and you will conquer the food. Least of your worries but I do understand. May we all conquer ....
One evening I thought I was craving something sweet, but didn't have anything sweet in the house. Instead I ate some salty pistachios and problem solved. Sometimes I think I'm just hungry and my mind makes me think I want something sweet
Dr. Becky is AWESOME! I’m so very grateful for your videos. They are all helpful but this one on stress eating really hit the target. It’s inspiring to know you’ve struggled and succeeded too.
Twice in my life, I noticed that I gained a few pounds because I was suffering from my grass allergies but could not take medication for relief. I found that the minute I popped food in my mouth my allergy symptoms subsided...like magic. I have always explained this as my body perceives digestion as more important for survival than itchy throat, watery eyes and sneezing. I'm curious if this thinking has any truth to it? A good stopper and for me is shouting out after dinner, " I am so satisfied and I don't need to eat anything else tonight." This seems to make me accountable to myself and while sometimes I feel hungry I usually do not eat again and if I do it's something like a clementine or vegetable stick.
Salt is a stopper too! It kills cravings. I have a Redmond’s salt rock by my seat. When I think about snacks, I nibble on it instead. It works wonders! I have come too far to turn back now...
food manufactories ""BLISS POINT" sugar salt and fat in the "JUST RIGHT" amount, causing the brain to respond with a jolt of endorphins and wanting more. Thank you for the truth
You don't have to eat a lot of meat to implement the keto diet. There are three types of keto- dirty keto (lots of meat and dairy), clean keto, and vegan keto. We follow the clean keto diet which comprises 75% low glycemic vegetables.
Why I stress eat because I got upset and stress out and food calms me down when I do. I don’t do it every day just every once in a while when something really stressful happens
Hello, I found your video because I am experiencing stress right now, and being autistic, I find it difficult to control my emotions, so I found myself foraging in the cupboards for food, I ate everything you mentioned and more and felt good but guilty at the same time so thank you for sharing some good hints and tips, my fiancé and I usually share chocolates after dinner I am usually disciplined and have good control which means I can justify the chocolates, but I ate everything you mentioned in your video and more before 12noon today, so I came on here to find clarity. :)
My wife's is one of those people whose weight is not affected by her junk food addiction. Needless to say our home is filled with chips, candy, cookies etc. I am a stress eater and after losing 45lbs. I agreed to take on a job that totally uh stressed me out for months. All the weight is back. I don't feel like I can ask my wife to give up the junk food she loves just because I have a problem. It's an endless loop and I'm stuck in it. I hope Dr. Keith is doing well.
Dr. Becky, I think you changed an old slogan for a bad thing into a good thing: "You've come a long way baby." You look awesome! I assumed you always have.
This video came at the right time along with the email about rebooting weight-loss. Stress eating is my nemesis. Sometimes I don't realize I'm doing it till it's over. But, the information and tips from you are so supportive and help me to keep moving forward. Thank you! 🎉
I thought I defeated stress eating. Then covid-19 came. Al of this physical distancing, husband laid off because of covid 19, kids doing online high school/college, everyone being home is driving me insane!!🤪🤪🤪 Southeast Texas is crazy with wind, pollen, and allergies that I cant be outside because it makes my sinuses crazy. So, stress eating has begun, sugar cravings, wanting to bake, salty crunch snacks. If my kids were still not living here there would not be any of these treats so I would be ok. If they are here, I want them. If they are not, I more than likely would not want to go to the store to just buy something. Your tea with dinner is an amazing idea. I am going to try it because after dinner I go to the cabinet to look for something sweet, my dark chocolate. Lol. This may do the trick. Thanks so much. 😁
I'm so sorry, and I'm sure others would agree that this period of time has been so hard on you. It's certainly been a learning curve for us. I've been in that " look for something in the cupboards, or fridge for something sweet " mode. Not fun, and how it can turn into a vicious cycle we can get ourselves into a spin on. When I realize that it's a stress calming addiction though, I realized it's a "go to" for calming stress that I needed to break, as if it were any of the other, "go to" addictions out there. Most of them not good for us, and then realizing that my stressors were still there. So managing my stressors better, and pulling the positive out of them helped, using them as a learning tool, needing to just change some things up. Dr. Becky's and others tips given in the comments are great to start with, as well as this time can be used to teach, and focus our children while they are with us at home better ways of dealing with stressors, and changes in life. I know for myself looking for ways to help others in a way we safely can right now, helps make us feel good and we can be part of the support for those going through this with us. Engage the children in activities that can help around the house, as well as some fun activities together, along with everyone coming up with ideas to help our neighbors, as well as those on the front lines, all the while keeping them and ourselves safe, and we'll along with keeping up our social distancing. We will be thinking about you. Hope this helps. 😊🤗🌅
@@Joy-sm7iz Thanks for this, for taking time to write thoughtful and helpful encouragement and tips. It was nice to wake up to them today. 😊 I was good last night. Ut was the first night I didnt run to the cupboard to get "something." I kept myself distracted with other things. I will have to read the tips in the comments. I read a few. I do brush my teeth and floss right after dinner helps me to not eat. Who wants to do that all over again!? Not this girl! Lol. 😂
I'm happy I found this video, I've been stress eating for a while now and as someone who's still very young I wanna start eating healthy so that it won't affect me negatively in the future

You are such a voice of reason during this stressful time. Thank you for keeping us centered and focused on our health.
Brushing teeth is a good stopper too.
Yes! I do that frequently.
No I can already have brushed my teeth for tonight and if I get stressed out I will eat then brush them again
It didn't work for me !
Brushing teeth never works for me
I'm gonna try that!
In the summer of 2018, you were the calm, knowledgeable, encouraging voice who guided me to health. And now you’re helping me keep what we earned. Thank you!❤️
So happy to be part of your journey, Renee!

My husband loves junk food and I can't change that. I would add...serve up the tea super special! Maybe even a tray and fancy cup?
All cravings pass is the best phrase ive heard regarding to this subject
Brush your teeth after eating. Very effective. Do some physical exercises when craving. I promise it'll knock it out and has huge benefits! Thanks Dr. Becky.
This is so great. I will send to so many who need to hear it!
I appreciate the sharing, Doris!
Thank you for the calm and logical way you explain things. I also find that keeping sugars and other bad stuff out of the house is the best stopper. Also that drinking flavoured teas are better than having multiple cups of coffee with added milk, sugar substitutes etc. Please keep posting videos to see us through this tought time. Stay hopeful and safe!
YEAH, i have some trouble for the step 3, bcz i work on a grocery store, and girl, i live in my job, so.... plese someone help me. :)
Note: i would like to mention SOMETHING THAT IT HELP ME: DO NOT GET BORED. BCZ IF YOU ARE BUSY WORKING, IT IS HARD TO KEEP EATING.
Thank you Dr. Becky, very helpful in this time as you said of daily bad news. I like the mint gum idea!

Thank you Dr. Becky for a much needed video for me. I will take this information and apply to my life right now. I have definitely been overindulging in Dopamine’s during my lay off. Thanks for the reminder that I owe it to myself to have more self control. It’s bad when your joggers are getting tight😂
What if is not comfort food...it is just the urge to continue to eat, even healthy foods?
I've been binging a lot lately
Bc of my maths test😩
Thank you so much dr Becky! I am really working on my relationship with food esp since i am in med school right now. Stress eating leads me to carb crashes, fatigue and brain fog. Hopefully, i get to where u are with food.

Yesss!! M&M with peanuts are the devil 😂
But they are so good I love them but I don't eat them anymore
aren't the peanuts good for us? That's what I tell myself. LOL
Agreed!
Dark chocolate is healthy too LoL.
I've been making keto sugar free candies....🥰
Stress eating is the best way to deal with stress

My favorite alternative now is a keto cake in a mug - egg/coconut oil/milk alternative/almond flour/appropriate sweetener. Delicious!
I LOVE mug cakes 😍
So stressed out about getting sick. Gained 20lbs the last month. Getting back control!
Mine is more like if people yell. If people are rude or they tell me to go away etc.
Merci beaucoup Dr Becky. So far so good for me but i’m carefull and i need video like yours for my motivation. You are the best,
I like you very much.

Currently stress eating while watching this, will update you guys in the next six months
Any update on fighting stress eating?
Thanks Becky! I drink tea at night at it really helps. I’m going to start drinking it right after dinner from now on.
Thank you for the great video and so much needed in this stressfull time!❤

HI! Who does your videos? they are so well done!
Thank you, Laurie! I owe that to my video editor who just happens to be my daughter as well. I'll pass along your comment to her :).
But what if you body rejects food when you ur stress. And you don't eat for days because your stress what do you call that.
My problem is that I eat a lot of food which makes me sick later. Not necessarily junk food even healthy food I just eat a lot when I'm stressed and end up throwing it up later because of how sick it made me.

I like your suggestion of mint gum (or maybe a breath mint) and hot tea (again mint is great favor here).
Yeah , there is something about dark chocolate, so satisfying, you don't need to over indulge! Make some Keto fat bombs, be mindful (pause at one, wait before you take a second because they are gooood) and you'll find won't over indulge once the satiating fat kicks in.
Great video and advice.
I cut bad carbs and sugar from my diet around a year ago. One of the side effects was I stopped craving sweet stuff when I was stressed.
It didn't stop me wanting to snack but I now have some nice cheese and nuts as snacks and it works for me. Also they fill me up so I can't keep eating them!
Good luck to anyone trying to change their lives for the better
It works!
Keep doing it until it is the new normal!!!
My mom,, currently 75 years young, would always say to me, "this too shall pass!" I'm going to tell her this latest version of that saying! She's going to get such a kick out of it 🤣
You are such a wonderful lady Dr Becky, thanks for sharing!! Love you guys and your channel(s).
I had significant change at work that completely de-stressed my life. Since then I have managed to follow Dr. Becky's advice and I am shedding weight. I have lost 30 pounds already but more importantly I continue to lose weight steadily every week just by completely cutring carbs and intermittent fasting. Dr Becky is out on her own with the best dietary advice IMHO
Thank you, Stephen! Congratulations!
For a few minutes nah I eat healthy foods but if I want something sweet or salty I will eat it
What’s messing with my discipline is there is so much food at work !!!
I get you. It's kinda gross but what kept me from eating junk in situs like that...picturing nasty things on the foods. Like that killed my desire. lol
I'm revisiting that 'tool' now. 😳
Debbie Lynn - true, that was also my strategy BUT I am a frontliner at a hospital- so now we are getting individual packaged meals, nicely sealed EVERY Day,... I shouldn’t really complain- but 😩
@@ThrivewithJesus oh myyy ...thank you for your service!!!
Be safe and you will conquer the food. Least of your worries but I do understand. May we all conquer ....
@@ThrivewithJesus plus I'm glad they are providing you w food. I hope w real essentials as well!
@@ThrivewithJesus
Thank you so much, you are appreciated,, praying for your safety and strength!! be well!
One evening I thought I was craving something sweet, but didn't have anything sweet in the house. Instead I ate some salty pistachios and problem solved. Sometimes I think I'm just hungry and my mind makes me think I want something sweet
I like salty foods but not too much salt. I like nuts though
Thanks again dr Becky where all stressed out during this difficult time of uncertainty with the covid 19 virus
wow i love ur now body shape. Am new to ur channel.
Dr. Becky is AWESOME! I’m so very grateful for your videos. They are all helpful but this one on stress eating really hit the target. It’s inspiring to know you’ve struggled and succeeded too.
Not me stress eating sweets while watching this video 😭
I kept praying n worshipping God. Thank you for the tips
Twice in my life, I noticed that I gained a few pounds because I was suffering from my grass allergies but could not take medication for relief. I found that the minute I popped food in my mouth my allergy symptoms subsided...like magic. I have always explained this as my body perceives digestion as more important for survival than itchy throat, watery eyes and sneezing. I'm curious if this thinking has any truth to it? A good stopper and for me is shouting out after dinner, " I am so satisfied and I don't need to eat anything else tonight." This seems to make me accountable to myself and while sometimes I feel hungry I usually do not eat again and if I do it's something like a clementine or vegetable stick.
Interesting theory about the allergy symptoms!
im dowing 2 bags of kit kat miniatures right now
Meh watching this video while stress eating🤢
What advice do you have for keeping refined food out of house when you live with kids who eat non-keto?
That may be a title for a future video
It's so true though and I'm happy I watched this video today.
Not always successful but when I crave a snack, a large glass of water can be my stopper.
Stoppers ….. brilliant!!!
I need this because I have stress eating
Salt is a stopper too! It kills cravings. I have a Redmond’s salt rock by my seat. When I think about snacks, I nibble on it instead. It works wonders! I have come too far to turn back now...
I can’t really eat too much salt.
I can’t eat too much salt it swells me or too much bread it swells me.
If I could give 5 likes I would
Bullseye! ACV helps me.... but more important is.....rational thinking along w goals...............exercise. watching carb intake.
Just when you stress don’t eat
Great advice. Especially useful in these times.
Thank you so much!
food manufactories ""BLISS POINT" sugar salt and fat in the "JUST RIGHT" amount, causing the brain to respond with a jolt of endorphins and wanting more. Thank you for the truth
My stress has been crazy and now I won’t stop stress eating I gained a lot of weight :(
That calm voice
Keto hurts my stomach. Too much meat isn’t healthy.
You don't have to eat a lot of meat to implement the keto diet. There are three types of keto- dirty keto (lots of meat and dairy), clean keto, and vegan keto. We follow the clean keto diet which comprises 75% low glycemic vegetables.
Thank you so much for this lovely video- such a relevant topic during Covid times! ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
You're one of my best things right now,thank you, truly,stay healthy and safe
Why I stress eat because I got upset and stress out and food calms me down when I do. I don’t do it every day just every once in a while when something really stressful happens
Hello, I found your video because I am experiencing stress right now, and being autistic, I find it difficult to control my emotions, so I found myself foraging in the cupboards for food, I ate everything you mentioned and more and felt good but guilty at the same time so thank you for sharing some good hints and tips, my fiancé and I usually share chocolates after dinner I am usually disciplined and have good control which means I can justify the chocolates, but I ate everything you mentioned in your video and more before 12noon today, so I came on here to find clarity. :)
My wife's is one of those people whose weight is not affected by her junk food addiction. Needless to say our home is filled with chips, candy, cookies etc. I am a stress eater and after losing 45lbs. I agreed to take on a job that totally uh stressed me out for months. All the weight is back.
I don't feel like I can ask my wife to give up the junk food she loves just because I have a problem.
It's an endless loop and I'm stuck in it.
I hope Dr. Keith is doing well.
Dr. Becky, I think you changed an old slogan for a bad thing into a good thing: "You've come a long way baby." You look awesome! I assumed you always have.
Dr. Gillaspy, your videos are so extremely practical and helpful and, crikey do they resonate with me!
Nah I hate gum
Thank you! An ongoing stress situation was about to derail my eating again. New subscriber here.
This video came at the right time along with the email about rebooting weight-loss. Stress eating is my nemesis. Sometimes I don't realize I'm doing it till it's over.
But, the information and tips from you are so supportive and help me to keep moving forward. Thank you! 🎉
I thought I defeated stress eating. Then covid-19 came. Al of this physical distancing, husband laid off because of covid 19, kids doing online high school/college, everyone being home is driving me insane!!🤪🤪🤪
Southeast Texas is crazy with wind, pollen, and allergies that I cant be outside because it makes my sinuses crazy. So, stress eating has begun, sugar cravings, wanting to bake, salty crunch snacks. If my kids were still not living here there would not be any of these treats so I would be ok. If they are here, I want them. If they are not, I more than likely would not want to go to the store to just buy something.
Your tea with dinner is an amazing idea. I am going to try it because after dinner I go to the cabinet to look for something sweet, my dark chocolate. Lol. This may do the trick. Thanks so much. 😁
I'm so sorry, and I'm sure others would agree that this period of time has been so hard on you. It's certainly been a learning curve for us. I've been in that
" look for something in the cupboards, or fridge for something sweet " mode. Not fun, and how it can turn into a vicious cycle we can get ourselves into a spin on. When I realize that it's a stress calming addiction though, I realized it's a "go to" for calming stress that I needed to break, as if it were any of the other, "go to" addictions out there. Most of them not good for us, and then realizing that my stressors were still there. So managing my stressors better, and pulling the positive out of them helped, using them as a learning tool, needing to just change some things up. Dr. Becky's and others tips given in the comments are great to start with, as well as this time can be used to teach, and focus our children while they are with us at home better ways of dealing with stressors, and changes in life.
I know for myself looking for ways to help others in a way we safely can right now, helps make us feel good and we can be part of the support for those going through this with us. Engage the children in activities that can help around the house, as well as some fun activities together, along with everyone coming up with ideas to help our neighbors, as well as those on the front lines, all the while keeping them and ourselves safe, and we'll along with keeping up our social distancing. We will be thinking about you. Hope this helps. 😊🤗🌅
@@Joy-sm7iz Thanks for this, for taking time to write thoughtful and helpful encouragement and tips.
It was nice to wake up to them today. 😊
I was good last night. Ut was the first night I didnt run to the cupboard to get "something." I kept myself distracted with other things. I will have to read the tips in the comments.
I read a few. I do brush my teeth and floss right after dinner helps me to not eat. Who wants to do that all over again!? Not this girl! Lol. 😂
I'm happy I found this video, I've been stress eating for a while now and as someone who's still very young I wanna start eating healthy so that it won't affect me negatively in the future
Thank you again Dr. Becky for your great videos.. You are such an encourager!!!!!!! Judy in Tennessee...
Awesome video😊
