I Can’t Lose Weight – Stumbling Blocks On The Road To Weight Loss – Stumbling Block #14, Stress

I can’t lose weight! Is this you? If it is you, it is very possible that you are stumbling over one or more of the stumbling blocks on the road to weight loss. Very often when someone is saying “I can’t lose weight” it is the reason. You have knowledge, but you are stumbling over the stumbling blocks and that is keeping you back.

Here is the link to the other stumbling blocks on the road to weight loss that we have already looked at

Stumbling block #14 on the road to weight loss is stress!

Yes, stress. But I cannot do anything about that! I can hear you saying it. Often it is true. Your life has the stresses it has, but you can be aware of it and be prepared to deal with it in another way than going on a binge.

Keep healthy, non fattening activities and treats ready that you can use to de-stress before you eat something you are not supposed to eat. So often when we are tired we grab for the instant “lift” that chocolates or carbohydrates can give us. This is when the stress starts ruining your weight loss efforts and before you know it you have well and truly stumbled over this stumbling block on the road to weight loss.

Every person is different, but we all have some activity that we really enjoy and that can take our minds off the stresses of life without eating or drinking something we are not supposed to eat and drink.

One thing you have to be careful of is that whatever the activity is that you enjoy, it should not have an underlying connection to food. An example that jumps to mind is something like a movie with the popcorn and coke that goes with it! If you love movies, and you budget with your calories for the popcorn, then it will not be a problem. Try and avoid the coke though as there is not a really good substitute for it as a diet coke is not a good idea.

Well, I think you will agree with me that stress can really be a stumbling block on the road to weight loss. This can really be the reason why you are saying “I can’t lose weight!” With good planning though, it can easily be avoided.
