Emotional eating – is it something that you struggle with? If you eat when you aren’t hungry then chances are that there is an element of emotional eating in what you do.
You may wake up in the morning with the best of intentions for the day, only to find that later on you can no longer resist the cravings and urges to eat.
It could be that your emotional eating is a response to stress, boredom, loneliness, unhappiness or anything else that leads you to seek relief in food to change how you feel.
And whilst using an external means to change how we feel is common, whether it is food, alcohol, drugs, shopping, gambling or another means, if your emotional eating is leading to you piling on the weight and feeling unhappy then now is the time to reprogramme your actions and reactions.
