article: Take the sausage stuffer out of the freezer, and set it up according to the manufacturer instructions. Run warm water through the sausage casings, and get them ready to stuff by draping one end over the rim of the bowl while the tail continues to soak in warm water. Prepare a cold platter on which to place the stuffed sausages. Lastly, remove the sausage meat from the freezer.  When you run water through the casings, check to see if there's a leak. If you find one, discard that casing.  Try to keep the casings from getting twisted since you might accidentally rip one if you have to untangle them. Each casing is several feet long. The entire casing should be slipped onto the tube with a tail of 8 inches (20.3 cm) or so hanging off the end. When you stuff the sausage, the meat will fill the casing. In some cases you only need one casing for an entire batch of sausage. Place the meat into the sausage stuffer all at once. Crank down the stuffer so that the meat begins emerging from the stuffing tube and fills the casing. Use one hand to help the casing slowly slip off the tube as the sausage meat fills it, and use the other hand to guide the sausage into a coil shape.  It takes some practice to get the hang of how fast to crank the stuffer and fill the casing. So, go slowly at first since you don't want the casing to rip. If you have sausage meat that won't fit in the stuffer, keep it in an ice cold bowl until you run out of sausage. Then, quickly fill the stuffer again. If you run out of casing, remove it from the stuffer, tie off the end, and resume with a new casing. Keep stuffing casings until you run out of meat. You should now have one or more coils of sausage knotted at one end of the casing and open at the other. Form the links by measuring six inches from the knot, pinching the sausage with your thumb and forefinger, and using your hands to twist the two pieces toward yourself three times.  Measure another six inches down the coil, make a pinch, and this time twist away from yourself three times. Continue in this fashion down the coil until you've run out of room to make more links. Knot the end of the coil tightly against the meat.  Make sure you twist one link toward yourself and the next link away from yourself. This makes sure the links don’t unravel.

article: If you just feel like you want to eat, but you aren't actually experiencing hunger, don't eat. This can be harder than it sounds! If you are in the habit of stress eating, you might not have a good sense of how hunger feels. When you have the urge to eat, first:  Check for a feeling of emptiness in your stomach. Notice if you are thirsty, rather than hungry. Drink water if so. Staying properly hydrated can reduce overeating. Ask yourself when you last ate, how much you last ate, and if it's reasonable to assume that you might be hungry again already. If you just ate a meal, for instance, you probably aren't still hungry. Walking around and snacking will make it easy for you to forget what you are doing, leading to stress eating. Plan your meals ahead of time so that you aren't deciding what to eat when you're hungry. Eat full meals with foods from all food groups. Don't substitute snacks or sweets for meals.  Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you can cook food ahead of time without binging it, cook for leftovers. If you tend to stress eat anything in the fridge, don't. When you eat, make it an event. Set the table, even if you're eating alone. Use a placemat, set out a napkin and utensils, and make sure you have water to wash your food down. If you are eating lunch at school or work, make sure you are eating somewhere you can focus, like a park bench or a breakroom table. Don't eat at your desk, and certainly don't eat while you work. Look at your food, smell it, and notice its flavor. Stress eating ruins your enjoyment of your meal. If you focus on your meal, you are more likely to enjoy it, and more likely to notice when you are full. Pause after you have eaten most of your meal, and ask yourself if you are still hungry. It will take a while for your body to notice it is full, so take a 15-20 minute break if you're not sure whether or not you're full. If you want to watch TV, check your phone, or read, do it after your eating is done. If you can't stand eating in silence, try chatting with others, admiring a view, or listening to music. However, if you find yourself getting absorbed in these activities, stop them and pay attention to your food instead.  Don't let yourself eat and stress at the same time. If you feel stressed, stop eating. Change your environment if you need to: maybe you need to be outside, be alone, or write something down to worry about later. Finish your meal when you are calm. If you can only eat while watching TV, make sure you are watching a comedy and not anything stressful. If you're trying to be mindful of your diet, it's easy to go overboard and plan only healthy meals. Don't fall into the trap of eating the same food over and over, never eating treats, or giving up all your favorites. If you do this, you're more likely to go overboard when you're stressed. Focus on healthy meals, but do allow yourself occasional treats, such as a comfort food lunch or a tasty dessert. If you notice that certain foods trigger your desire to binge eat, keep them out of the house. Try to avoid them completely. If you crave something, allow yourself to visit a restaurant where you can order a single serving of it.  For instance, if you eat whole pints of ice cream, don't keep ice cream in your house. If you crave it, go to an ice cream parlor and order a small cone. Enjoy your treat! Stock your pantry with healthier snacks. If you tend to get hungry for snacks, keep healthy snacks in your house. Eat small portions of nuts, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy when you are hungry.

article:
This will only encourage them to complain more often and loudly to make their voices heard. Chronic complainers are attention-seekers, and denying such attention will only worsen their attitude. If the chronic complainer seems to be coming to you on a regular basis whenever their negativity needs an outlet, there might be a possibility that you've been selected as their favorite listener or problem-solver.  Consider what you've done in the past that might have prompted them to think you're more sympathetic than others and change your response. For example, you might have given too much space to their complaint and too little to helping them focus on finding solutions themselves.  Setting clear boundaries will contain their behavior. You will have to do it more than once until they've realized you're not the go-to person for their complaints. You can say "I love you and want to help, but I'll not just stay here and listen to how bad things are. If you want to think of solutions, you know where to find me." Although it's hard for chronic complainers to change their take on life, positivity can be as contagious as negativity. Showing how you deal with problems yourself could work as evidence of the fact that there are different ways to approach life, and help the complainer change their attitude. If the number and intensity of chronic complaints has gotten out of control and you consider this person a friend, you should discuss their attitude and point out that their complaining is a default reaction to any situation, rather than a reasonable behavior. Chronic complainers don't see themselves as negative people. They think life is especially harsh for them because of bad luck or honestly think problems are too huge for them to handle. Your helping them see this side of their personality will be a first step toward their acting upon it.
