Stress is the BEST way to Loss Weight

Now, I dont want to follow your example here, getting stressed out to loose weight. You still need to do your sit up, loosing weight of stress will make your skin loosen. I guess...

I believe that. Problems can make you loose weight. But that's not good my dear, you know what I mean....Take care of yourself, you're still young. There's a lot instore for you out there. Have fun!

oh i beg to disagree on my case when i am stressed i am getting fat! why? my coping mechanism is usually to eat..so i tend to eat more and more when i am sad or depress!

Maybe you're the kind who loses more weight dieting than exercising (you're not eating well you say). But, don't ditch the exercising. It will help calm you while you're stressed. Because, although it's doing wonders to your weight, it might harm you more in the end. Unfortunately for me, stress makes me gain weight because when I'm stressed, I binge on high calorie, high fat carb food (junk food, most of the time).

Please i have not understood if you are male or female. However i know that depression is terrible!!

I saw you using the word BEST. I think I have some disagreement with you. To be over-stress is not good for your health. In general, when you are faced by some stress, you are depressed and succeed in losing weight; I suppose you will look for something that makes you depressed so as to lose some weight. Is it feasible? I don't think so.

This reminds me of a song by Funboy 3, "The Pressure of Life (Takes Weight Off the Body)." I do believe there is some truth to it as well. I have probably had more problems with stress than the average person due to my OCD and anxiety disorders and because I am a dancer I also exercise more than the average person and am not an emotional eater either - in fact, I lose my appetite when I am anxious... all of which no doubt aided in my being able to say with all honesty that I have never gained unwanted weight in my life. However, before anyone gets jealous of that, please know the massive amounts of anxiety that have gone into it... not all good - I can tell you that up front. I feel right now I'm on a much healthier route, pursuing things because I want to rather than because I have to. I don't know how long it will last but I am hoping it will at the very least be long term if not permanent. All that stress, while it may keep you looking slim, is never a good thing for you mentally even if you are looking better physically. So while I agree that losing weight due to stress isn't necessarily a bad thing, I still hope you are able to find a healthier way to accomplish your goals. I learned the hard way I could not go on like that... being perpetually stressed out and all...

Stress can have the complete opposite effect on some people though. So can depression. I remember when I was younger, I used to actually gain weight when I was stressed out, then, as I got older, I refused to allow myself to eat due to my emotions and stress began to have the opposite effect on me. Now, I can't seem to do either, even though I almost always feel stressed! LOL I guess that my body has just gotten used to that stressed out feeling. I think that although you may be happy with the way you look right now, you may want to just return to your exercise routine. It is said that exercise also helps to relax you.

It worked the other way around me. I had to cope with some stress and t] counter that I started eating at frequent intervals! It took me as much time to lose that weight.

Sorry to hear about your stress, I do hope you know that it is not healthy to be stressed all the time. I am glad you are loosing weight that is good, try a little walking here and there especially during stressful moments. This will help maintain the weight loss long term. I hope all ends soon and you feel less stress!

ohhhhhh what you are saying my friend but I somewhat agree with you but why takes stress or tension human beings why they are depressed.

It's really nice to see the updated of yours, so did you manage to be away from all of them? i had same problem last year, where i depressed about the world called "love", i frustrated and made me lost my weight, where i try hard to do by treadmill, push up, sit up and other thing. most of my clothes was fit on me and i love it. I lives out of country, when i visit my parents, they were shock!, They feel sad about my weight, they asked me wether i had problem, but i just mentioned to them that i have difficulties to eat. If you happy with your weight now, i dont think is an issue as long as you healthy and never get sick. As we see on newspaper and media, most people try hard to get perfect body shape and dare to do surgery! but you can get easily by chance... take care yourself

Well, U'll look even more thinner if u were ill It's not a good way. I hope U can use some other methods to lose weight
