Is stress keeping you fat?
An interesting Times on Line article that says a lot for having balance in your life. I think too often we treat our bodies like it’s some sort of machine that isn’t really connected to the rest of us. It also answers some questions about why some people just cannot lose weight even though they are going to the gym every day and eating next to nothing.
Two things that resonated with me were restless sleep and generally reacting badly to stress. I’d never actually heard of cortisol before, but it wouldn’t surprise me if my poor ol’ bod was totally awash with the stuff.
So I’m going to dust off and update nothing ventured… (yes, again! ) and start working on the fitness and well-being thang with a new perspective that takes in the bigger picture. I think the past couple of months of going to the gym almost every day for yoga and pilates has been a good first step towards a new nice & easy lifestyle, keeping in mind a very nice ‘frase de hoy’ from my yoga class the other day…
Let go of old habits with love, and find positive ways to address the needs that they met.
