Three ways stress is connected to weight gain:
- When you are stressed, cortisol begins to send signals to the brain.
- These signals trigger the need for comfort and pleasure like eating sugary foods, which can be as addictive as drugs.
- As cortisol increases so does the fat deposited around your middle.
If this sounds familiar, you may need to seek help from a professional to address the physical and emotional issues surrounding the stress response.
