Emotional Eating

Find the Strength to Stop Emotional Eating
Emotional eating can be a big problem when you're trying to lose weight. You have a sucky week (or month!), and suddenly that pint of ice cream seems like the solution to your problem, right? WRONG! That's the old you. The new, empowered, and strong you can push through tough or trying times, knowing that things can and will get better.
Stop letting your emotions sabotage your weight loss. Establish healthy patterns of behavior and invest in your physical and emotional well-being.

Face Your Problems Head-on

It's easy to emotionally eat when you're feeling stressed or anxious about things in your life — especially around the holidays. Put down that junk food and pay attention to what is really eating you up inside. Focus on finding short and long-term solutions instead of sabotaging your diet. Track you food and your feelings in a food log, then look back at it later to see what was happening in your life when you were at your best and worst. Think before you eat! You've worked way too hard to get where you're at to just blow it in the heat of the moment.
