If a chocolate bar, slice of cake or bag of chips has become your ‘friend’ when you’re stressed or anxious, you may be an emotional eater. It’s likely that you’ve been conditioned to turn to food for comfort if you find that it is one of the few things that make you feel better.
If you eat because of emotions, consider keeping a food journal of what you eat, when you eat and why you eat. To help break the habit of emotional eating, find other things to do, such as walking around the block, taking a bike ride or playing with the dog. Get tips to get control of your eating habits here.
