Loss of appetite due to stress

Many women around the world would give anything to be in our shoes - to loose appetite and start rapidly losing weight. But I personally know how terrible it feels like. You start getting thinner and thinner, none of your clothes fit you, you cannot look at yourself in the mirror, find yourself ugly, feel shy and frustrated and furthermore you may have badbreath and other health problems, just like a fuel to the fire.

As I am quite an emotional person, stress is the first reason I may stop eating AT ALL whereas many people loose control with eating! For example, the other day I went through a terrible incident, so I havent eaten anything except for vegetable (pepper and cucumber) for two days. I knew it will lead to scary results and didnot want to go through it again. So I started my own plan against appetite loss because of stress.

First of all, you need to calm down! I know it is hard when you have problems - whether at work or in life. But take a minute to appreciate granted things in your life - your health, beloved ones, carrier, education, and even a good weather. Take a walk or a shower. If this doesn't help, take a pill to be quiet.

After freshenning up think of something you would eat right now. Do not refuse anything to yourself! Neither a salad, nor a junk food. Praise your stomache for wanting at least something. This is your chance to slowly start eating. Take it slow. Eat less but food rich in calories, like nuts, pie, meat, bread, etc.

Everyday add portions. Breathe fresh air. Provide yourself a good night sleep. Spend more time with friends to get distracted. Always have a pack of cookies or nuts in your pocket or draw. Whenever you feel tiny bit hungry - help yourself. Eat cold food if the smell of hot food makes you sick.

Most of all remember and keep telling yourself - do not let whatever happened take away your health. You can't erase what has happened, but you still can protect your health!
