What a woman wants...

to know!
What do you do to relax? DH says I'm way too stressed out for no good reason. He's probably right and that's taking it's toll on my diet and my self-esteem.
Boss is driving me over the edge and making me so jumpy that I keep making dumb mistakes. Which of course makes me head for the Ho-Ho's in the vending machine. How do you all deal with stress? I have to find another outlet besides eating! And I can only exercise so much in one day.
What I need is something quick that I can do at work on my breaks or whatever. Usually I can get away by myself for a few minutes if I need to so come on with the ideas ladies. I can't think anymore and my jeans can't take too many more Ho-Ho's.
Thanks for putting up with my neurotic tendencies.

There are more negative ions, which combat stress and depression, in the air at the ocean and up in the mountains, so there's a scientific reason why people tend to feel relaxed and refreshed there.
Hope you're feeling less stressed soon.

I'm trying to learn some yoga poses and to do some breathing exercises.
Your question makes me realize I need to come up with better ways to handle stress.
One thing I do if I'm stressing out over what all I eat is just let it go. I give myself a few days to eat what I want and not think about it.It usually helps me get back on track.I think by making a food off limits I just want it more.

(Phyllis' idea of giving it over to God is great, too, of course.) Hope things get better!

If I had a set of handweights on my desk I think I would most likely be seen using them on someone!

I have absolutely no advise to give you but I do know exactly how you feel! And my DH tells me the exact same thing! Walking is usually one of my best reliefs and walking the dog is usually the best-Otto loves to take his time so it actually makes me slow down too.Wish I had a better answer for you!
Hugs,
From Susan-who's in the same boat!
I keep gum in my desk too. It helps until my jaw starts aching from all the chewing. I think I may go back to taking a quick lap around the building on my breaks. It's only about 1/2 a mile, but that's better than nothing. And it's hard to eat Ho-ho's when you're power walking...LoL.

Ok, so now you all can shun me for the heathen, Godless atheist that I am.
