Stress and the Band

[meandtheboys 8]

Hi friends - Has anyone else noticed if stress effects their band? On 2 occasions now when I've been stressed about something work related, I haven't been able to eat for a day or 2 before. Once the stressful moment passes I gradually feel much better. Anyone else feel this? Thanks.

Absolutly!!!!

I am a very stressed high anxiety person - especially at work where i feel like big brother is watching every singe move you make -- I find lunches very hard because of that and most of the time get stuck and am in pain - then I worry something is wrong why cant i eat -- it is a horrible cycle --

then i get home relax a bit and dinner goes down just fine ---

So yes.. i find stress affects my band and what i am able to eat on a god damn daily basis lol

Yes I do find that stress affects the band very much, as do hormones and where you are in your cycle. I also find if I haven't slept well my band can feel tight as well. It can be a finicky thing this band!

Yep, big stress affects me & my band, too. Stress and hormones.

Wow so if stress messes with the band I am surprised we all arent walking around too tight, I'm pretty sure everyone has stress going on in their life. This band is a hard one to figure out but I definitely notice right before that time of the month things are really tight then the next week back to normal Kind of hard to know when we hit that perfect restriction isn't it??? So much to learn
