How to Stop Emotional Eating for Good

5 min read Updated Today

We don't always eat to satisfy hunger. We also turn to food for comfort, stress relief, or as a reward.

Identify the Trigger

Keep a food diary. Note what you ate, how much, and how you felt at the time. Are you actually hungry, or just bored?

Find Alternatives

If you're stressed, take a walk or call a friend. If you're bored, read a book. Find non-food ways to cope with emotions.
