Most brides start joyously planning their wedding day based on years of dreaming about their big day, often as far back as childhood.
Don’t let Stress Get the Better of You on Your Big Day!
You’ve got your Knight in Shining Armor and your Happily Ever After ahead of you.
You want the biggest, most expensive party you’ve ever planned to be perfect!
So, with all of this bubbly happiness, why on earth do so many brides get stressed out to the point of becoming Bridezillas?
Well, here I go again attempting to interest my completely disinterested mind in taking up some exercise.
I ran across this article from Women’s Health Magazine, Best Workout for Your Body Type.
This intrigued me because I have never liked the one-size-fits-all exercise model. I have pretty bad arthritis which flares up during our damp Pacific Northwest winters. I certainly don’t like having someone tell me to go do something that causes me more pain.
OK, Ok, so it’s time to get over myself already!
WOW! I never knew that!
I love checking out the recipes on Sandy’s Kitchen. Sandy lost a bunch of weight on the Medifast plan, and since she loves to cook, Sandy blogs on her Medifast friendly recipes.
Sandy is the proud new mama of a darling baby boy. And like most mommies, she now gets to lose that added baby weight. I’ve noticed she is firing up her kitchen kettle and getting creative again!
Everyone who has ever been on a strict diet knows how boring meals can be. This is especially so when the weight loss plan you are on, or your doctor’s orders, gives you vastly different food choices.
We often perceive these choices as “There’s nothing to eat”. After all, I certainly will not eat Tofu and I have never been a veggie fan apart from the high carb ones (carrots, peas, potatoes & corn).
Everybody is talking about Greek Yogurt these days.
Over on Pinterest, there are a bunch of Pins showing how to use Greek Yogurt in usually fattening recipes to bring down the calories.
Is what other people think of your weight important or discrimination?

Ahhh… finally time for my last post on the Fat Loser program series!
I’m sorry I’ve neglected this.
We had huge changes with my company and I’ve been busy re-arranging things!
So, here at the end of the series, Steve Siebold starts asking some hard questions. I feel like he really hit on a very tender spot.
Ouch! I know, I know, I can hear the chants ringing in my ears!
Why can’t mosquitoes suck fat instead of blood?

Everyone has heard of comfort foods…those are usually the ones that do us harm like French bread with tons of butter (one of mine).
Is Your Stress Causing You to Eat the Wrong Foods?

Remember…when we get those urges, it is an emotional response and the cause is usually some sort of stressor.
Here are some healthy options that help to naturally reduce stress to try when you feel the need for some of your old Comfort Foods coming on.
Everybody says Stress Kills.
It leads to risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, digestive problems like ulcers, obesity and many others.
Doctors are always telling us to get healthy, eat right and exercise.
Everyone knows developing healthy eating habits is important. Unfortunately, most people are not very likely to start eating many of the foods on this list.
We can do a few things.
We can get mentally tough and make up our minds to start eating at least some of these foods.
Check out my blog posts under the recipes section for ideas to incorporate some of these foods. Hate cauliflower? Try this Cauliflower Pizza crust recipe I found at Sandy’s Kitchen.
If getting mentally tough is a longer process for you, or just too darned tough, you might want to take a look at Greens, a blend of 38 herbs and nutrient-rich “superfoods” equivalent to 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables.
Greens is a pleasant tasting, orange-flavored powder. Simply add to 8 oz of water or juice.
Live Strong, Live Healthy!
I always love to hear what you have to say. What are your trigger foods? Have you incorporated any of the above foods into your diet to help reduce your stress related food cravings?
Remember!…Sharing is Caring!…Please Like, Tweet & Share this post so others can benefit, too!

I have wanted to lose weight all of my life. Even as a child in 3rd grade I remember being called fat by some kid.
Are your habits the cause of you being overweight or are they the effect of your beliefs?

I look back at pictures of myself and do not see a fat child or teenager.
I was overweight, but not that bad. It was all the negative attention that became a self fulfilling prophesy.
I was inundated with opinions, comments, adults in my life going on fad diets (The liquid diet was really popular), perfect Barbies and those ever present rail thin models like Twiggy.
With all the adults in my life who were constantly going on diets, not one of them ever succeeded long term.
Diets always failed.
Weekends were always reserved for over indulgence in forbidden foods with Monday hailing the start of the diet.
This culture I grew up in helped me formulate beliefs about dieting, being overweight and my ability to even succeed at losing the weight.
