Ok, it's been quite a stressful several days. First, I fell down the stairs and broke my right pinkie toe. OUCH. Then, I learned that someone very dear to me passed away on Friday. Not to mention the normal day to day stress of raising four children.
I'm an emotional eater. When I get stressed, I want to eat sweets. To avoid going off the plan, I always keep Sugar Free Jello on-hand, and some Truvia to sweeten homemade whipping cream. That usually feeds my craving for sweets.
I also find it important to journal and get those feelings out on paper (or electronically if it's easier - which it is in my case).
Overall - it's not difficult to stay on the Low-Carb plan throughout massive amounts of stress. The cravings aren't overbearing, and not having to deal with the blood sugar roller coaster because of our low carb lifestyle definitely helps.
