Good question.  This is not a pleasant situation, because food really effects our short-term mood.  I suspect that the recent diagnosis has also not been good for the mood.  \n\nSome things I like that I know are healthy:\n\nSalsa  (the problem with salsa is the chips, sour cream and cheese that often accompany it.)\nGreen Beans\nBlack beans  (give me the full feeling)\nPinto beans   (give me the full feeling)\nEdamame - I normally would loathe any kind of soy bean.  But, these are delicious and refreshing.  I get a big bag at Costco in the frozen foods.\nBaby carrots\nSnap peas\n\nSometimes new spices can put the "interesting" back in food.  I recently blogged on some diabetic recipies from the Saturday Evening Post at:\n\nhttp://mydiabetesinformation.com/index.php?p=14\n\nHowever, I am just getting into blogging about diabetes.  This is a good challenge.  Food is such a part of life and identity.  Changing it dramatically is similar to uprooting a family and moving to an unfamiliar city.  It is hard, but will get better every day.

Well one thing that may help when you get home drink some sleepy time tea, relax in the bath.  But you have to make your mind up that you are going to have "YOU" time you are probably stressing because you feel you do everything around your house or work.  You  just have to sit back and realize what is important to you and enjoy it!  Goodluck and try the tea, that helps me relax after a crazy day

Yes, make sure you exercise a lot, but not so much that it stresses you out. Eat healthy stuff of course. Stay away from sugar as much as possible. I'm sure you can figure out yourself what is healthy and what is not. Eat at the same time every day so you get into habit (like breafast, lunch, and dinner). I hope this helps!\nPS: It's good to eat a big breafast, and smaller lunch. It helps with school too! I'm not kiddin

Emotions and stress play a lot into how much we eat.  If you feel you are swamped with things to do, you will naturally eat faster (to save time of course) but in doing so, you will not be satisfied with what you have eaten.  \n    Even if you have to set aside at least 20 minutes for a meal, you should do this and then sit down and take a break while you eat.  It is much better than to keep getting up and running to the cupboards to get more snacks while you are studying.  You can snack while you study, but try to keep the snacks healthy:  fruits, veggies, rice cakes, popcorn and only eat from one bowl, don't keep getting up for more.  \n \nAnd realize too, that if you are stressed or emotionally drained you will want to eat more or just find yourself eating a lot of junk foods.  It's Ok to have  a splurge.  Dont' beat yourself up over it, otherwise, you may just continue to worsen your eating habits.  If you overindulge in some food, just get over it right away and vow to do better tomorrow (or better yet, the rest of TODAY)  \n\nHope this helps! and also, 3 10 minute exercise sessions still add up to 30 minutes and is much better than nothing.  Even 10 minutes for the day, if it's all you have time for.

Hormones!This gives us [as women] a chance to pamper ourselves for a few days and not feel guilty about it! \nWatch movies and ask someone to make you dinner! :)

Hobbies are wonderful.  Meditation, pets, music, hitting a pillow, a glass of wine, reading, games, getting massage regularly, giving massage to a significant other, sex, laughing (preferaably not at the same time), entertainment like movies or TV, etc.  Pick something you like and do it.  The biggest thing I have seen that helps...just staying active mentally and physically.  FI you feel good you will look good and be your body and mind will not get as stressed and not hold as much stress.  Hope it helps.

Eat healthy, SKIP SNACKS, that was my worst thing to overcome. Eat light, but healthy.\nExercises for AT LEAST 30 minutes CONTINUOUSLY. Aerobics, Swimming and Dancing are the best ways because they use every part of the body and two include music, making it fun.\nDONT LOOK AT THE SCALE. That makes you feel stressed out, which can add to weight. \nCheck out www.mypyramid.gov to see what is healthy and how much you should eat.\nFeel good about yourself and Good luck. God Bless.

the best stress relief is sex, but there are also other things you can do like journaling, or drawing/painting, taking a nice hot bath, listening to some relaxing music, taking a nice long nap, reading, going for a walk, it just depends on what make you happy.  I usually just watch a good, funny movie and take a bath and go to bed early. Just having a good, long, convo with your best friend can make you feel better.

you should eat small things through out the day. have a small breakfast. and if you are hungry two hours later grab celery or carrots. if you have craving for chocolate, then allow yourself half a candy bar.  take ibuprophen for pain, its also a blood thinner.

Hello... I'm a High school student in Venezuela and i'm very interested in the nutrition career. I know a lot about it and i really want to answer your question. If you're a little stressed out in this days i really recomend you to drink natural tea... ''Tile'', ''Camomile''or a ''no cafeine tea'' could be great for that, ''Mcormick'' or ''Lipton'' teas are delicious!. Excercise is not a ''natural'' or ''herbal'' supplement but you could try it!... while excercising your body liberates ''toxics''... endorphines or in spanish:''endorfinas'' wich are... a big part of your stress!. Alimentation, or your ''daily diet'' is also a part of the cause of your stress... try not to hurry when you're eating, just serve your food and seat! (don't stand up while eting or don't eat standed up), try to have good portions in each food and don't try to take everything or prove everything before eating you're plate!. \n\nIt's simple, have a balanced diet:\n\nBreakfast (make it simple: wheat toasts, butter, a ''cafe latte'' or orange juice and fruit).\nLunch (combine! protein is essential or grains if vegetarian: Chicken, fish or steak, and a good salad... like ceasar?, fruit and a good tea for your metabolism).\nDinner (it could include wheat carbohidrates!: Chiken and salad, or just a chicken or ''cappresse'' -tomato and mozzarella cheese- sandwich.)\n\nIt's just an example!, just don't eat the same thing everyday, that's not balanced at all!. Try to exercise three times a week!... walk, run, tae-bo or pilates ar great! or do some yoga!, excercising a little is essential, 35 minutes could be... a little and very productive!. Drink a cup of hot tea, lemon and ''splenda'' after lunch and at night before you go to bed, it will bring good results. Aight! i hope it works for you as it works for me! good luck!...\n\nThis article could help you:\n\n'' Build your physical reserves. \nExercise for cardiovascular fitness three to four times a week (moderate, prolonged rhythmic exercise is best, such as walking, swimming, cycling, or jogging).\nEat well-balanced, nutritious meals. \nMaintain your ideal weight. \nAvoid nicotine, excessive caffeine, and other stimulants. \nMix leisure with work. Take breaks and get away when you can. \nGet enough sleep. Be as consistent with your sleep schedule as possible.''

There is a great article in the latest issue of Business 2.0 on how stress causes bad eating choices. I bought a StressEraser and have actually lost some weight and have been eating better without really thinking about it. I learned of the product from an article in a golf magazine. You can see it at www.buystresseraser.com. I'm not sure if the magazine is on newstands yet. I subscribe and just got my issue last night. It is a great article and study.
