How to Stop Emotional Eating - Part 3


Learn to identify your triggers.

   Every emotional eating episode has a trigger. Think
back to a time when you engaged in compulsive eating. Was
it a reaction to a particularly stressful day? Were you
consoling yourself with food to overcome loneliness or
boredom? Were you relieved that a stressful period in your
life had finally come to an end? All of these situations
can lead to an emotional eating binge.

   Discover your true needs.

   It's not always an easy process, but if you want to
overcome emotional eating, you must learn to recognize and
ask for what you truly need. Do you need food, or do you
need affection? Do you need food, or do you need to feel
appreciated? When your true needs are fulfilled, the
compulsion to eat will go away.

Some people are stronger than others when it comes to sticking to a diet or specific food regime. If you need extra help in this area, you really ought to look into how Mind Movies could help.
