I think the biggest issue I'm having with trying not to overeat at the moment is with finals. It's always so stressful, and it one of my biggest binging times. I've done alright so far, I have one paper and one test down with only a bag and a half of chips eaten. I just need to make it until Friday night ahh.
Anyone else having similar issues?

I know what you mean, I remember when I had tons of deadlines all at once and it was so stressful.
I don't have my exams until June, so I'm okay really until then stress wise.
Can you think about what exactly is stressing you out about finals? Is it that you worry you haven't done enough revision, or do you get general exam anxiety?
Maybe create a mind map and write down your worries, then you can think of step by step ways to work through them.
Friday's not very far away, you can do it!
I find gentle exercise helps to de-stress my mind. Walking for me is the best because I can stick my ipod on and shut out the world for a little while.

I feel like I'm just stressed I'm not going to finish in time, so I'm eating to sort of keep me motivated, which is a terrible trap to fall into but there you go. I should think of other ways to keep my spirits up. I try music, but it tends to distract me from writing if it's poppy and fun, and if it's the normal soothing music I use to write stories and stuff with then it doesn't really motivate me, it's just good background noise. I've tried going on omegle and doing RPs so I have something to sort of do that's nice other than the work (which is what the food is) but I do tend to get too into it. I used to love exercise! I wish it wasn't so cold. I'm such a wimp about the weather  Thanks for your advice and for listening!  |

I'm a wimp about the weather too, haha! But it's been quite mild recently. I also have bought some exercise DVDs from Amazon so I can do those if I don't want to go out. Nothing too hardcore, just some basic aerobics.
