6 Ways To Break Free From Emotional Eating
Understand How Emotional Eating Works
Emotional eating occurs when you use food to manage your feelings, rather than to satisfy your hunger. This can trigger guilt and create a cycle where you eat because you feel bad and feel bad because you eat. Positive feelings can also play a role if you associate food with celebrating.
Keep A Balanced Perspective
It's okay to take pleasure in food and enjoy sharing it with others. Concerns arise only when emotional eating interferes with your health and well being.
Ask Yourself If You Feel Out Of Control
You may have lost control of your eating habits if you want to make healthier choices but keep failing to do so. Be honest with yourself when you answer this question. If you resolve to have yogurt for breakfast but wind up stopping off for a bacon sandwich on the way to work, there is a good chance you may be feeling out of control. Assess your feelings before eating anything.
Notice Your Cravings
A strong desire for specific dishes is a common symptom of emotional eating. If you're actually hungry, everything on the menu is likely to sound appealing. When you're depressed over a recent breakup, ice cream may be the only thing you want to order.
Evaluate Your Hunger Levels
Another danger sign is eating when you already feel full. Slow down and decide if you really need another helping of mashed potatoes or if you are feeling a little emotional.
Consider Your Family History
The way you eat may be grounded in patterns that started in childhood. Maybe you were rewarded with a homemade cake when you got good grades. These simple things can turn you into an emotional eater.
