Stop Emotional Eating Before It Starts

Posted: Apr 29 in Weight Loss Tips by admin

Emotional eating is a common cause of weight gain and can make it difficult to drop those extra pounds. If you tend to turn to food as a response to more than just physical hunger, try these tips to help stop emotional eating before it starts.

1. Always ask: Are you hungry? Before you put any food in your mouth, take the time to stop and ask if you’re physically hungry. How long has it been since your last meal? Are you feeling anxious or stressed or bored instead of hungry? If you tend to do a lot of mindless munching, try keeping track of everything you eat and write down how you feel when you’re eating.

2. Find new coping mechanisms. Once you’ve identified the emotion you’re trying to address with food, the next step is to find a new way to address it. Depending on the emotion you’re dealing with, there are a variety of techniques to try.

* Stress: Remove yourself from the stressful situation, take deep breaths, or listen to music that helps calm you.
* Sadness or loneliness: Exercise to release mood-boosting endorphins, play with your pet, or write a letter to a friend.
* Boredom: Try out a new hobby, play a game, or read.

3. Seek out support. If you find that you’re constantly struggling with the same set of emotions, you may want to reach out to a mental health professional or support group to help you deal with the underlying issues.
