Stress eating often becomes the hidden barrier in weight management—not from lack of willpower, but from overwhelm. When stress rises, cravings follow. A mindful pause, naming your emotions, and offering comfort before you eat can shift everything. With compassion and presence, weight management becomes a kinder, more sustainable journey.
