THINR – Stop Emotional Eating
Replace eating with something more productive. Avoid the guilt and increased stress of overeating.
Ideas:
Lonely? Call a friend. Skype.
Bored? Read a good book. Start a new project. Write in journal.
Stressed? Go for a walk. Meditate. Work out.
Drink more water, chew gum, get creative. We’re all different so do the things that you want. It is a good idea to not only set fitness goals but mental, spiritual, relationship goals and when you feel like eating and you’re not hungry then work on one of your other goals.
I have to admit, I haven’t perfected these techniques. Still, even if I can avoid emotional eating most of the time I am actively reducing my caloric intake and creating healthy habits. BABY STEPS for permanant change. So don’t stress if you’re not perfect. Take pride in each victory. It feels great each time you win and it empowers you to win again and again.
I didn’t mind the angle switches. Kept me entertained and I didn’t mind looking at all angles of your charming face.
Good post, I know it helps a lot to have gum. The chewing actually tricks your mind somewhat into thinking you’re getting something to eat so it lessens the hunger signals.
Also, I proudly consider myself a “thintopian” lol
Can’t watch the video but I’m sure it’s super awesome. I think emotional eating isn’t something ever goes away fully because everyone emotional eats to some extent because food is comforting and in society we use it for that form (some dies? food! someone sick? food! etc). But it is manageable and you can lesson the effect it has on your life. Good luck!
