1. Be Proactive
May be you are using food as a distraction from stress at work. You can be proactive by adding something in your life that will help you deal with the stress before that emotion becomes overwhelming.
This small act can definitely help you decrease your chances of reaching for food because you’re dealing with that emotion in a productive way!
2. Figure Out the Time of the Day
What time of day you end up using food to distract yourself?
Once you figure that out, set an alarm/reminder in your phone to go off around that time. This is a great way to pause and check out by yourself what it is truly needed for you!
3. Get Help or Talk to Someone
If you’re finding yourself overeating due to an overwhelm of emotions, then it may be time to talk with someone about your feelings.
Really not wanting to talk to a therapist or counselor? Then call someone you trust and let it all out with them. Sometimes, an outsider can give you some powerful advice and tips that you may not have thought of yourself.
3. Add in Fun
