STRESS MAKES IT HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT!! Stuck at work, arguing with a woman who claims stress makes losing weight more difficult, which is why her son is slightly overweight (I saw a pic; maybe needs to lose 30lbs at 6'3"). Says his doctor told him his stressful job is what makes it so hard to lose weight. I said no, CICO. She got more and more adamant that I was wrong, and the doctor is right. I said the doc is full of crap and trying to appease his patient; eat fewer calories, burn more calories, problem solved. She got irritated enough to change the subject. Just 5 long hours to go, then I get off work and can go for a run... to relieve stress and burn calories.
