Well this new study sounds like enough of a reason for me to take a vacation -- or at least a quick trip to the spa. Apparently many kids turn to food when they see their moms stressed out, mostly over money woes and work loads, so they overeat and became overweight at a very young age.

Maybe I'll go relax with a pedicure this weekend! Smiler

I've been so stressed lately too! Man, I guess this is as good a reason as any to back off.

when anyone, let alone children starts to eat alot or "binge eating" it is a sign that not only stress maybe involve but something else too.

Its a coping skill to many that needs to be broken if you or your kids plan to stay healthy. Unfortunately, it does happen to me alot when I'm under alot of stress and when my depression sinks deeper in.

so yes, exercising will help replace that bad coping skill to a new positive coping skill.

Hope that made sense.
