I've used this excuse. No, I haven't used this excuse. Schedules can pose a problem, but there is always a solution. I need to think creatively to find one. I'm not going to let myself be trapped by this.
Stress is always present in life.
There's never a good time to manage weight. There's only today. Using food to manage stress won't help. I need to find better ways to manage stress, including managing my time better and finding ways to stay relaxed in the face of it. Yes, I do deserve a treat now and then, but it doesn't have to be food.
