COMMON QUESTION - EMOTIONAL EATING
Aug 21, 2024 1:18 am
Happy Tuesday, !
“What can I do about emotional eating?”
The simplest way to address it?
See it for what it is: a habit — NOT a personal shortcoming.
Once you see it that way, the key is to find a more helpful habit to replace it with.
You can do this by creating what I call a “self-care menu.”
Come up with a list of healthy or fun actions that make you feel good — things you can do BEFORE you reach for food to soothe or celebrate your feelings.
You can…
● Play with your pet for 5 minutes
● Listen to one of your favorite songs
● Go outside for some fresh air
● Do some quick stretches
● Meditate for 5 minutes
Doing these things can help disrupt your old “trigger → behavior” cycle with something that feels good and that you enjoy.
AND… this short interruption can help give you some breathing space so you can be more mindful about your next food decisions.
Committed to your success,
