Let it go. Since stress is a huge trigger for cravings, learning to deal with it could potentially save you hundreds of calories a day. This will take some practice. You can try deep breathing or visualizing a serene scene on your own, or you can speed things up by buying one of the many CDs that teach progressive muscle relaxation. A good one is Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques, by Nancy Hopps

Gidday Nancy,  Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks again for taking time to send across your Surgery: Mindful Mending CD. I found it so helpful and nurturing, especially as I waited in the operating room. The minutes before “going under” have been anxious for me in the past. This time I relaxed and visualised the outcome I wanted. It worked!  The [wisdom teeth extraction] surgery went really well… I listened to your CD every day the following week… I thought it would interest you to know that my Surgeon said on a scale of 1-10 in terms of difficulty operating (my teeth were right next to my facial nerves), my operation was an 11. He said he didn’t want to have me worry unnecessarily, but that I had a very real chance of coming out with partial face paralysis/permanent loss of feeling. When all was said and done, I figure I am very lucky and super glad that I prepared as well as I did. Thought it would also interest you to know that I was the only one in surgery that day to recover well. I had NO swelling and NO bruising. Unlike my fellow patients ~ who obviously hadn’t done their positive visualisations beforehand! Without exception they came out black and blue and swollen. LOL. Anyway Nancy, thanks again for caring and sharing. Bless you.
