I recently discovered that I usually eat high fat sugary foods when I'm stressed out. I needed to change my game plan. I bought a mini trampoline. Now I bounce instead of eating a bag of chips. My study breaks are now trampoline breaks, instead of binge opportunities.

I love the trampoline idea. How long can you stay down in the dumps while you're bouncing up into the air?

This is such a great idea! I was so stressed today that I went out and ate half a piece of cheesecake (over 500 calories!) I'm going to go get myself a trampoline tomorrow (do you know if there's a weight limit to them?)

How is that trampoline? Does it burn calories? I could do that and watch TV.

Is it a Setback or an Opportunity?

Learn to look at a setback as an opportunity instead of a failure. Setbacks are temporary not permanent. Setbacks can help us learn, grow and develop a sense of who we are and what we need to do to succeed. A setback can help us advance forward with a renewed mind and spirit - if we allow it to.
