Sabotage Stress is one of the primary ways people sabotage their weight loss goals. 91

Stress creates distress 50% of people feel more stress now than they did just five years ago. Do you? Stress has been reported to trigger relapses in unwanted behaviors such as self-medication via food. This can lead to out of control eating 92

Cortisol affects your weight? Chronic stress stimulates the pathway in the brain that increases cortisol production. This leads to increased desires for high fat and sweet foods. 92

Jacob Sullum, syndicated news columnist “People may very well choose to trade off years of their life, or the possibility of disease or injury, in exchange for the current pleasure, excitement, or stress relief they get from food.” Jacob Sullum, syndicated news columnist 92

Does relaxation require a spa? Absolutely not! Popular techniques include: Aromatherapy Art therapy Yoga Mindfulness meditations 95

Mindfulness Two mindful bites Take a mindful moment What one breath feels like Scan your body 97

The ultimate relaxation: Sleep Sleep deprivation accompanied by an increase in stress levels: Affects normal blood sugar balance Decreases leptin (hormone that suppresses the desire to eat) Increases hunger and appetite 100

How much sleep is sufficient? The National Sleep Foundation suggests to ask yourself: Are you productive, healthy and happy on 7 hours of sleep or does it take 9 hours? Do you depend on caffeine to get you through the day? Do you feel sleepy while driving? Are you experiencing sleep problems? 100

Sleep should not be considered a luxury, but should be made a priority in your weight loss program. Repeat, a priority
