Staying Slim in Stressful Times

Given today's economy, "it's a vulnerable time" to gain weight, says Robert Gould, M.D., of ShrinkYourself.com. Here are tips to avoid emotional eating:

• MAKE A STATEMENT Fill in the blanks: "I sometimes overeat when I feel ___. But after I overeat I feel ___." Carry this statement with you and read it three times as a reminder not to stuff yourself before giving in to a craving.

• ENLIST ALLIES Recruit two people you trust to discuss your weight-loss goals and make a pact to call them when you're tempted to binge or eat the wrong foods.

• TAKE A PAUSE When you eat for comfort, it usually happens without thinking. Simply taking a deep breath and asking, "What am I really hungry for?" can keep you from gorging.
