Eating is a part of everyday life. The body can’t function without the nutrients it receives from food. Of course, occasionally indulging in delicious food despite not being hungry isn’t a problem, but it becomes unhealthy when you binge repeatedly to it because of your emotions. These could range from stress, anger, fear, boredom, sadness, loneliness. Sometimes, emotional eating can also be linked to positive feelings, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.

Do you eat to feel better or relieve stress? These tips can help you stop emotional eating, fight cravings, identify your triggers, and find more satisfying ways to feed your feelings.

2. Find other ways to feed your feelings
It’s not enough to understand the cycle of emotional eating or even to understand your triggers, although that’s a huge first step. Find
alternatives to food that helps you to achieve emotional fulfilment. Read more <<<https://www.tigerfoods.com/overcoming-emotional-eating/
