Win a LighterLife starter bundle at At Home Magazine

Here’s your chance to win a starter pack and one hour telephone counselling group from LighterLife.

Millions of people use mood-changing strategies, like medication, alcohol, cigarettes and exercise, to cope with stress. But for many, food fills that emotional need.

The good news is we can learn how to manage it and improve our quality of life, because a situation isn’t stressful of its own accord. It’s your thoughts about the situation that lead to stress.

For many, food isn’t just about fulfilling a physiological need – hunger – it’s about fulfilling an emotional need, too. We misuse food and one of the key triggers of this kind of eating is stress.

Eating and drinking with friends and family is intrinsic to human culture. So it’s no surprise that when we’re feeling low or stressed, people will try to raise our spirits with tea and biscuits, or a takeaway and a bottle of wine.

Think about situations where you’ve felt stressed and turned to food. Think about the reasons why you ate what you did. Were you aware of what you were eating? What were you actually hungry for?

LighterLife has helped hundreds of thousands people to lose weight and keep it off with a simple philosophy that works – change the way you think and you can change your life, including how you cook and eat, and how effectively you manage your weight.

To help you on your way to a happier relationship with food, we have a LighterLife Starter Pack  and a telephone counselling session worth more than £75 up for grabs!
