MFRA 52-Week Blog Challenge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n

This week’s topic in the 52 Week Blog Challenge is stress eating.<\/p>\r\n

To be honest, eating and body image are topics that push my buttons. In today’s society there is so much focus on eating (or not eating), working out, and being thin. We’re inundated with unhealthy images and expectations. It’s often hard to be objective and not succumb to damaging outside influences.<\/p>\r\n

Personally, I love to work out, but I do it to be happy and healthy. I’ve learned the difference between challenging and damaging exercise. I’ve been a vegetarian for nearly thirty years and generally eat healthy food, but I still enjoy some junk food, too.<\/p>\r\n

My favorite way to relieve stress is to work out, but sometimes I want comfort food. Do I stress eat sometimes? Of course. I love dark chocolate and eat it regularly, but if I’m in the stress eating mood, I’ll eat any available chocolate.<\/p>\r\n

I’m the sort of person who can go to extremes, so I make a conscious effort to live life in moderation, whether it’s regarding food, exercise, hobbies, or work. That’s why I don’t stress out over occasional stress eating. There’s no shame in being human after all.<\/p>\r\n
