Hello. I am a bit overweight but I just cannot control my eating habits. I fully understand and admit that I use food as a stress reliever. I know I need to foster more self control, but I want to attack the root issue and try to reduce my stress (stress from my job, looming projects, finances, etc.). 



Do you have any methods you enjoy to reduce stress? Minus working out and/or running, I already work out regularly. 



Thanks in advance for any stress-relief tips.

What are you, a child? Just control your emotions. Take some deep breaths and chill. Stop buying shit food and it won't be there if you have a moment of weakness.

Meditation helps a lot. Working out is a common one but just going on a walk, either listening to nature or listening to music helps. This is more if you're really overwhelmed, but cold showers kind of shocks the system and resets your emotions, getting an ice pack and putting it on your face/ back does the same thing.

I get you’re having trouble with your eating habits but you should still use it as a goal/focus area. Otherwise you’ll put it off forever thinking you haven’t quite got the other things sorted out yet.

Start small, don’t dive head first into an impossible diet. Write out a plan on paper and treat your approach to your diet like a progressive overload weight program. So basically something like:

Week 1, every day, maintain at least 2x 3 hour gaps between meals (e.g don’t snack between brekky and lunch, then lunch and afternoon snack). Something very achievable. 

Week 2, same thing but three gaps, basically moving towards condensing your eating times and reducing snacks.

Week 3, no snacks in between major meals, but aim for three solid filling meals, maybe a small snack immediately before or after.

Just keep going like that, write down very achievable goals, with generous timeframes. Make them easier than you think is necessary. It’s better to make small progress right away, than to fail three times at something insurmountable.

The success will give you motivation and drive you forward, and you’ll be gradually building good habits and discipline, this will naturally flow out into other areas of your life like stress management.

If you roon, then that's probably why you eat more than you should. Running is shit for weight loss.

Stop obsessing over money and get a lower paying job that isn't stressful. Downsize your life or end up being a fat loser with lots of money and nothing else.

Ashawgandha can nuke your stress levels into nothing, sometimes it's literally too effective for people and they don't give a fuck about anything anymore. e.g. if you had some sort of deadline at your job, the lack of stressing about it causes you to just not care much about working towards it.
