Both raise seratonin naturally. It sounds like a good idea for me. <BR/><BR/>EmmaEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775058654043497630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17458605.post-36753910511615752022008-06-07T21:58:00.000-04:002008-06-07T21:58:00.000-04:00PS: I deleted my blog for the time being.....I'm j...PS: I deleted my blog for the time being.....I'm just not feelin the blogging thing right now.

Who knows. Anyways, two things I've found:<BR/><BR/>1. Anxiety and stress are eating triggers for me....sometimes I don't notice that I'm tensing up my entire abdomen and I mistake that for hunger.<BR/><BR/>2. If I eat real food (not processed) every time I'm hungry (hunger meaning stomach grumbling or general weakness), no matter how often it occurs, I never end up eating "too much." Usually I find I'll eat a little less later in the day, or even the next day. And it never makes me gain weight. So I've stopped worrying about eating real food. It's pretty necessary.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750556963709598563noreply@blogger.com
