How is it possible to eat a healthy diet as well as having a stressful life?
I mean the last thing I want to do when I get home from college or whatever is to tuck into some fruit, I always turn to things like chocolate because it makes me feel better in the short term. Also because I feel more stressed at the moment with college work, work, family life etc I find myself eating more and more junk food and this is getting me down because I'm putting on weight. I know all I'm doing is comfort eating but I really want to stop doing this and find alternatives to dealing with stress and my problems.
Does anyone have any advice on what i could do to help me stop eating so much unhealthy food and eat more healthly?

If you want a choccy bar, then go out for one to the local convenience store, or newsagents. The thought of having to get your coat and shoes on, and go out in the cold, will often put you off going for one.
Keep fruit, and good stuff, around the house.
