6 Ways to Address Emotional Eating

In emotional eating, it doesn't matter if it’s a whole lot of salad or a whole lot of cookies, food is not meant to fill voids, it is meant to fuel our body

While food can definitely add to the fun or be a part of it, food should not be:
Our safety, satisfaction, or relief from something negative occurring within or outside of us

Food should be fuel to get you through the day from an energy, health, & quality of life standpoint

Fueling from your body from an emotionally charged decision with the thought that it is going to solve a problem does more harm than good

SO HOW DO WE ADDRESS THIS?

➡️Think about the food you are eating as you eat it. Where did it come from? What is it made of? Who made it? How was it made?

➡️Think about what the food does for your body/health. Does this energize me? Does this help me prevent disease? Does this promote a healthier gut? Do I feel good after I eat this?

➡️Think about WHY you are eating the food. Is this because I am hungry? Is this coming from a emotion? Is this because I am celebrating & feel I need to gorge myself? Is this because of the people around me? Am I eating this because I want to?

➡️Be present for every bite. Am I enjoying this? Savor it, Chew it longer. Don't think about the next bite until the first one has been finished. Slow down

➡️Respect, Love, & Appreciate yourself before eating

➡️THIS IS A MUST! ADDRESS THE EMOTION. Don’t ignore it. If it’s there, & it’s making you eat, it needs to be recognized & truly released

Usually negative emotions come up because a lesson has yet to be learned from a situation which you may not even be aware of yet

Negative emotions are there to protect us, appreciate that then recognize where this negative emotion is NOT serving you & choose to learn the positive lesson and form a new belief
