[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  I’m not so disciplined as most of the posters here.  My job is super stressful and very long hours. I eat the (junk) chocolate mindlessly through the day as my stress surges with incessant short fuse demands. And then I unwind with wine at night.  I know it’s bad.  But I take the point of replacing the wind down wine with a different habit.  I don’t see myself taking up running.  But maybe I can try a yoga tape or something. Recognize it’s not much but need to be realistic. [/quote]

Some things to help mitigate --

-reduce portions of wine and use smaller glasses to trick your mind

-replace wine glass #2, 3, etc. with fancy tea, sparkling water, etc.

-eat snacks that are indulgent but not super unhealthy, like strawberries, fancy cheese. alternatively, don't let yourself eat if you're in front of a screen. mindless eating is more of the problem here, IMO, not what you're eating.

-you don't have to run (I hated running for years although I love it now) but try to find an outlet that is physical exercise. when I was stressed at work as an overworked youngster I loved kickboxing classes. Now I love riding my bike.
