Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Advice

Most bad habits are caused by one of two things: 

Being stressed or bored. Usually stressed… who has time to be bored?!

When my routine is shaken up I feel more out of control which makes me either stress eat or I get to a point where I’m so hungry that I’ll eat a bag of chips or a bunch of crackers instead of taking 5 seconds to peel a banana. 

Why is that? Why do we do this?
