Beat stress eating with a decadence list

I love this idea. On my list would be:
-giving myself a manicure
-a massage
-shopping (even just window shopping)
-indulging in a good book
-taking a nap (my all-time favorite, because you can’t eat and sleep at the same time!)
-dressing in my cutest clothes (since I usually can’t overeat if I am in them!)
-Drinking a tall glass of ice water while watching The Biggest Loser
-Going to Yoga or Pilates (or for a run!) with a friend

Wow! This is just what I need. I have started using the Weight Watcher plan. Of course, it was a new year goal. I am almost 2 months in and I’m finding myself going back to old habits-sweets. I need to make a list of things to do to get through those weak emotional moments when I want to eat to make myself feel better. Here’s a few:
-sit alone in a quiet spot and focus on my breathing
-a few yoga poses-plank seems to be what helps me to center myself
-taking the kids for a walk
-read through a few new blog posts on fitness, like this one, I just found you:)
-do a load of laundry, sounds weird but it makes me feel productive and less stressed
-empty the dishwasher, another strange thing that calms me
-sit in the rocking chair in my youngest’s room, I just love the colors in there

Ok, that’s enough-I’m going to write these down and keep them with me.

Thanks for this idea!

Super video. My list includes having a bubble bath, reading a novel, pampering myself just with putting on make up, dancing around the room to great music, and playing with my cat. Cleaning and blog-reading is also high up there
