Emotions and Your Weight

Individuals  often eat in response to their emotions, especially strong emotions.

Here are some tips for avoiding emotional consuming –

o  Consuming doesn t make the problem go away. Instead, try to deal with the problem in ways other than consuming. For  instance –  take a short walk or call a friend.

o  Think positively. Replace those negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

o  Be certain to get active. Be certain to take a brisk walk, get on a stationary bicycle, or do some stretches. Exercise will generally improve your emotions.

o  Distract yourself. Find something else to do rather than consuming. Listen to some music that lifts your spirit.

o  Prevent the kitchen. You’ll be less tempted to feed your emotions.

o  Have healthy snacks easily available. Comfort foods may be healthy.

o  Make certain to get help for your emotions. See your primary care provider or a counselor, or talk things over with a clergyman or a friend.
