Stress-less by avoiding
emotional eating

From the start of the New Year, lots of lessons were learnt from the past hectic
year. We could have spent our holiday sessions with family members, be it locally
or abroad, and that must have left us feeling refreshed, renewed and poised to
make some healthy and life-affirming changes.

But more often, many of us spend the holiday seasons in a flurry of activities
that leave us feeling like we need another vacation as the last holiday ended with
negative feelings and experiences. One main concern is gaining extra weight than
we would like due to emotional eating, trying new recipes and extra dishes which is
synonymous with holidays, especially local ones.
