3 Ways to Kill Emotional Eating

Do you eat only when you're hungry?

If so, then you may not have any weight problems. If not, then you are not alone. Most people are overweight for a variety of reasons, most of which are emotional.

So how do you stop eating emotionally? Here are 3 ways to do this.

Emotional Healing Cure # 1: Understand how you eat

This can be a big challenge for most people. Especially if you've been overweight since childhood, there are many triggers that alert you that it's time to eat. This may have nothing to do with starvation.

Eating becomes a habit, like driving to work. You don't have to think about turning left when you've been doing it every day for the past 3 years.

In the same way, if you have been conditioned to eat whenever you feel depressed, you naturally achieve it

for food.

This pattern will continue to do their thing until you accidentally break it. Before you can break the pattern, however, you need to know there is. You do this by paying attention while you eat.

Emotional Healing Cure # 2: Save and notice your emotional triggers

There are reasons you eat emotionally. When you first break your old pattern, your conscious mind is like a police officer, watching the trigger appear. And they will.

If you're ready for the trigger, then you're not just following the program as you did in the past. Now you have a choice. What are some triggers?

-Stress

-Boredom

-Great

- Anger

There are many more of these. In fact, you need to create your own trigger list as you know it. Then, you have to eliminate what you can control, and be prepared for what you cannot.

Emotional Healing Cure # 3: Disrupt negative patterns when they occur

As you become more aware, you will disrupt more and more negative patterns before taking them out. You will understand why you are eating, and you will quit eating when you are not very hungry.

If the desire to eat is strong, stop yourself. Take a long breath, and retreat. Tell yourself that you can eat this later. Take a walk or call a friend. Do whatever you need to do to escape

of food.

Ask yourself, "Am I really hungry, or is there another reason I want to eat?" You might also ask, "What is the effect if I eat this?"

Emotional food is the number one reason people fail in any weight loss program. Unfortunately, it is also neglected by most diets.

By staying on top of your emotions, you increase your chances of losing as much as you want. Permanently.
