Eat To Live, Not To Cope: 4 Steps To Quit Emotional Eating - Page 2
1. What is emotional eating?
The first step to combating emotional eating is understanding the habit itself. According to Mayo Clinic, emotional eating is using food to cope with feelings, not hunger. It’s a way to soothe or suppress negative emotions like stress, sadness, anger, boredom, loneliness, or anxiety. These feelings can be triggered by major life events or, more often, by everyday stressors like relationship struggles, work pressure, fatigue, or burnout. It’s your brain’s way of trying to self-soothe. But unfortunately, those comfort foods don’t fix what’s really going on, and they can sabotage your health goals.
