Emotional EatingRead the Emotional Eating article » How Can I Identify Eating Triggers?Situations and emotions that trigger us to eat fall into five main categories.
To identify what triggers excessive eating in you, keep a food diary that records what and when you eat as well as what stressors, thoughts, or emotions you identify as you eat. You should begin to identify patterns to your excessive eating fairly quickly. How Do I Break Myself of the Habit?Identifying eating triggers is the first step; however, this alone is not sufficient to alter eating behavior. Usually, by the time you have identified a pattern, eating in response to emotions or certain situations has become a habit. Now you have to break that habit. Developing alternatives to eating is the second step. When you start to reach for food in response to a trigger, try one of the following activities instead.
