Losing weight when stressed is hard to say the least. Even when life is not particularly stressful, it can still be really difficult to lose weight.

When they are less stressed, they tend to eat moderately, making eating well much less challenging during good moments.

Avoiding emotional eating takes quite a bit of intentional effort on each individual’s part, especially if you tend to eat when stressed out. Some dieters discover that they even eat too much when they are happy. This is simply another kind of emotional eating. Call it positive emotional eating, if you like. It still is considered emotional eating. The trick is to consider what you are eating and why each time you take another bite. Ask yourself if you are truly hungry. If you are not, there is no need to eat any additional food.

Post pregnancy weight loss can be especially challenging. However, if you breastfeed, you can drop pounds quicker than if you do not nurse, so do consider nursing your baby for many reasons, including your child’s health and your own more rapid weight loss.

Consume healthy food, drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep, both for your own sake and the sake of your child.
