Ask people what makes individuals fat, and you will probably get answers like “eating too much,” “not getting enough exercise,” and “slow metabolism.” Although all of these factors certainly play a role in being overweight, there’s one common thread in each of these reasons: stress.
If you can get a strong handle on the stress in your life, there’s a good chance you can lose the weight you have been, well, stressing over for weeks, months, perhaps years. Once you understand how stress can take control of your weight and your life if you don’t reel in the reins, you can be well on the road to dropping those excess pounds.
