When you are stressed do you feel it is harder to shed the lbs.?
Last year at this time I lost 12lbs (at my lights) and those 12lbs. crept back on. I feel like it is harder to shed this time because I have more on my mind. Do you think that plays a roll?

It depends on the person. My sister gets stressed and anxious and loses her appetite. I'm the opposite.
There are other effects of stress besides emotional eating. If you lose sleep it can lead to weight gain. Also some people are stressed and too tired to workout.

Yes. I don't know if it's because stress releases more cortisol, but I definitely have a harder time losing weight when I'm stressed.

Not for me. If I am really stressed I eat much less.

When I am stressed it is like having instant weight loss. When I was studying for the bar exam I was at my all time lowest.

I definitely eat when generally stressed, and I definitely also reach for the wine those times as well...especially difficult days with the kids. It doesn't seem like much, but those calories add up; my cousin suggested using a smaller glass and it actually worked! Ha!
Otherwise, if I have one single stressful thing (for ex, when I had a miscarriage and was obsessed with getting pregnant again) I'm able to focus on losing weight to redirect my mind.

Before kids if I was stressed I would loose weight. Now, its opposite. Erin, my issue isn't alcohol because I try and not drink it except socially. It's coffee! I think the sugar added up.
Once this vacation is over I think I will be ok. Keeping a trip from the kids is really hard
Thanks everyone.

It's the opposite for me. When I'm stressed or anxious I lose my appetite.
