<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I have heard every reason about why people can't exercise-arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis. You name it, I've heard it!

It's better for the weight lifter to do yoga than give up. But one of the most effective forms of exercise can done by anyone despite what itis you might have. That exercise is breathing. We were born doing it and we do it until the moment we die. Yet, few of us realize what a powerful and effective tool it can be in our efforts to lose weight.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Overeating is as commonplace as drinking bottled water. Portions are bigger in restaurants. We eat out all the time. Fattening foods are synonymous with good times.  And it's acceptable to bring a snack almost anywhere you go. We could potentially be eating almost all of the time if we're not careful. Cutting back can feel impossible in a world where food is so readily accessible. How do you reign yourself in when it can be so easy to spiral out?]]></description>

But there are many other options, too. However, we can fail to see that when we're in a panic. The key to overcoming emotional eating (whether it's triggered by job insecurity or anything else for that matter) is to determine what other choices you have.]]></description>

It can seem like a rational conclusion to make...don't fall in love...fall in chocolate...but there are probably some things that you might not have considered.]]></description>
