most of us do love to eat that is why we are fat
Stress is a terrible trigger for me .
You are so right..... and yes stress is a horrible thing and so hard on every part of your health. I have always been an emotional/boredom eater. If you try the flax oil let me know if you notice a difference in the way you feel. I sometimes wonder if it is just in my head 
...LOL
Hi Jo and Shawn!
A big part of the FTS lifestyle is finding and enjoying replacements for those things that made us FAT.
I believe part of the lifestyle also involves finding replacements (other than food) to satisfy our emotional needs.
As an example, when feeling bored or stressed, trying going for a walk.
Or, taking care of a chore around the house.
Or, ANYTHING else you might want do besides... eat!
I've found that I sometimes get false hunger (cravings) when I'm bored, stressed, overly tired, etc..
But after a short time, those urges normally go away. Especially if I've distracted myself with something else.
Sometimes, just quickly drinking a large glass of cold water does the trick.
