Do you use eating to deal with feelings other than hunger, such as boredom, being tired, or stress? We often forget that food is fuel and is meant to energize us! Below are a few tips to help get you overcome emotional eating and in turn think of food as fuel!
• Call a friend for support.
• Use inspirational quotes to help you avoid the temptation to eat.
• Take a warm bath or shower.
• Listen to music or a relaxation CD.
• Take a walk.
• Try activities that keep you from eating. For example, it’s hard to eat while you’re exercising.
