Weightloss for better survival chances

Interesting point, Tonya,

I had a client whose daughter said "Mum, you stress me out so much fighting with me and criticising me you will give me cancer and it will be all your fault!"

I guess it is really hard for most people to see that reducing stress is partly a matter of making organisational and other choices, and partly a matter of finding what control you personally have to regulate your emotional reaction to something

It is far easier to see your stress as your unavoidable response to something that is done to you, not as something you allow to affect you. .

I have a feeling that confronting this, and identifying what you can do to actively reduce your stress despite everything else means finding a positive way to improve your life and health that you can control in the face of things you have no control over.  So you actively choose to find time to do things that de-stress you like walking, meditating, listening to music. And you choose to avoid things that cause stress, like spending time on certain activities or near certain people. And you change what meanings and assumptions and expectations you bxring to previously stressful situations so they no longer stress you.  And this whole discovery that you can do this can be one of the valuable personal growth processes of breast cancer awareness.

And it is hardest to do when you are sick, tired, scared etc,
