(dave)high pressure stays in place through next week with continued dry conditions. daytime highs will be warmer than normal with seasonably cool nights. high confidence for dry weather for at least another 10 days. áspare the air day continues through this weekendá (marty) only on kron4 this morning... the holidays can be a stressful time if you're trying to lose weight. parties are focused around food, alcohol and temptation. don't throw up your hands in defeat before the party even begins. health expert karen owoc is here with some tips to cope and still enjoy the festivities.1) emotional eatingholiday time is an emotional time. while food fuels your muscles, it also feeds your feelings. when eating is triggered by an emotion rather than physical hunger, it's known as "emotional eating" and it comes at a cost to your health if you don't control it. emotional eating strikes suddenly and you crave a specific food, such as a "comfort food". unlike physical hunger, when you eat emotionally, you continue to eat beyond the point of feeling full.2) curbing emotional eatingthe solution to emotional eating is to first recognize it and identify a pattern. the next time you encounter one of your emotional eating triggers and are driven to eat, try these four easy steps called the "stop-breathe-reflect-choose" strategy. it takes just a couple of minutes.1. stop - stop what you're doing. break the cycle of automatic eating.2. breathe - relax and slow down. take four deep breaths and release any tension as you exhale.3. reflect - think before you eat. ask yourself if you're physically hungry, angry, lonely, tired (halt) or bored, anxious, depressed (bad). then note what food you're craving. this exercise will help you identify whether your need to eat is emotional or physical, which emotions trigger you to eat, and which emotions are associated with particular foods. you'll start to see a pattern.4. choose - choose to eat or cope. you have three choices. you can choose to eat the food. choose to eat a healthier version of that food or find a non-eating way to cope. with practice, you can take control of your reactions. 3) action solutions to emotional eating (non-eating ways to cope)7 call a friend of write about your feelings in a journal. express your emotions rather than shove them down with food.7 get physical or productive. go for a walk/jog, play with your pet or play a game, or work out at the gym. (exercise helps release endorphins that trigger feelings of well-being.) wash the car, clean house, do laundry, work in the garden, or redecorate a room. 7 calm yourself. do yoga/meditation.7 find ways to have fun and laugh. 7 seek help. individual or group counseling may be effective in coping with emotional stress.4) focus on the people, not your plate there will be lots of food and a wider variety of food options can lead you to eat up to 23% more, so divert your attention away from the table. join in or start conversations. that's not to say you have to be the "life of the party" - just engaged. move around the room and find pockets of conversation. remember being a good conversationalist is not about doing all the talking. it's someone who's genuinely interested in the other person, asks open-ended questions, and lets the other person talk.5) facing food fearsthe holidays are associated with food and overeating, but all is not lost if you're trying to stick to a healthy eating plan. when invited to a party, offer to bring something to share. your host/hostess will likely be appreciative. preparing healthier alternatives will ensure you have something to eat. you can still share in the food, occasion and fun. denying yourself from partaking in what's on the table or bowing out of the event altogether because of your food fears can set yourself up for frustration, loneliness and binge eating later. 6) rsvp stressbeing social shouldn't mean accepting every party invitation. parties can be fun but can also be a stressful obligation - especially if it means finding something to wear (that fits), preparing food to share, trying to stay on your 'diet', and all the other reasons that you might find unsettling. before the party season even begins, plan out your calendar. set aside what days, nights and weekends you want to keep open for things (marty) a utah teenager says that his only wish for christmas this year -- is a chance to say thank you. and because of a viral video -- his wish came true. nick mcgurk explains... picture with music of van damage"i remember when the car finally stopped, and opening my eyes, and seeing caleb, and i thought he was gone."-nats up music video--"my family was involved in a car accident" caleb johnson?
