That is the biggest cop-out I've ever seen. Stress is very subjective, everything from the definition and how you deal with it. Keeping that in mind, there are negative and positive ways of dealing with stress. Eating bad foods, or large portions to "soothe" your stress is a bad bad idea and habit to get into. Now, I've got stress. I'm a single mom, LPN student living 300 miles away from any friends, family or support, my daughters dad is a flippin deadbeat happy to see her but once every couple months, The program I'm in is proven one of the most challenging and inclusive, and highest pass rate for Licensure and employability. My saving grace, man-hunk, just graduated from the RCMP and is posted to the rectum of the universe, basically a flyout remote posting in northern Manitoba. So, I'm a little stressed... Back in the day, I turned to food and I felt better (marginally, for a short period of time), but the new me turns to fitness and healthy food as a stress outlet. It's a very positive feeling knowing that you have control over what you put in your mouth and how you choose to fuel your body. Even though I have about 5 hours per night of homework, a demanding 2 year old, and all the other mom stuff that needs to be done, I am 100 percent OKAY with taking one hour to run on the treadmill or lift some weights. It's a beautiful thing what exersise can do for your perspective and overall mood.
