Smart Puppy asked:

I’m a runner, and I know that running relieves stress for me. However lately I’ve been very stressed out and depressed and I can’t seem to get myself out of this slump and start running so I can relieve this stress. It’s become a vicious cycle. I need to run to relieve stress, but it’s stress itself that’s preventing me to run. How do I get that motivation?

Mike J asked:

I’ve read that stress causes you to gain weight and fat. What I am wondering is, does it have to be a lot of stress for this to occur and why does this occur?
