Do you find yourself munching when you’re worried, bored, or feeling lonely? Are you snacking in front of the TV after a rough day? Recognizing these emotional eating triggers can be a game-changer in your weight-loss journey.

Stressed –

If you eat when you’re stressed, it’s time to find healthier ways to calm yourself down. How about trying yoga, meditation, or soaking in a hot bath? These can be great alternatives to reaching for that tub of ice cream.

Low on energy –

Instead of grabbing a sugary snack, find other mid-afternoon pick-me-ups. Walk around the block, listen to some energizing music, or take a short nap. Trust me, your body will thank you!

Lonely or bored –

Rreach out to others instead of heading straight for the fridge. Call up a friend who always makes you laugh, take your dog for a walk, or head to a place where you can be around people, like the library, mall, or park.

You got this, sis! Let’s tackle those emotional eating habits together.
