want from you. This includes those
intense feelings of guilt or anger
that tend to follow an emotional
eating episode. Approach your
feelings with kindness, and your

no longer has to overeat to protect
you from your feelings. Plus,
through listening to your emotions,

2. Maintain the pleasure
principle
Make pleasure a priority in your life!
Flavor your water, wear soft,
comfortable clothes, and take
bubble baths. Give your body other
ways to experience feeling good,
aside from eating. If you do find
yourself in the middle of a binge, try
allowing yourself to fully enjoy it. Sit
down and savor every bite. The
more focused you are on how good
it feels to eat; the harder it will be to
eat to the point of pain. Many times
emotional eating is just our bodys
attempt at experiencing pleasure.
3. Eat only when youre
actually hungry.
Emotional eaters tend to not eat
when theyre actually hungry, which
only makes them want to eat more
lately. So instead, eat real, healthy,
and nourishing foods whenever you
experience physical hunger. Doing
so will teach your body that you are
Not what the weigh t-loss advocate
called starvation mode.

by knowing your triggers.

strategize. If you know you eat
when youre lonely, plan to call a
friend or write in your journal
instead. Also always carry food with
you so that you never feel deprived.
Emotional eating can be your bodys
reaction to feeling deprived, so
create new ways to nourish
yourself. Stock your fridge with
delicious, healthy foods, pack your
calendar with exciting things to do,
and be disciplined about setting
aside time for yourself to relax.
5. Wake up to your own
beauty.
If you knew how beautiful you were,
you wouldnt deny yourself food to
try change yourself. You also
wouldnt emotionally eat as a
release, because thered be no
tension from to which to release.
Any shift in diet would be out of
self-love and care for you beautiful
body. We are culture of gorgeous
women expected to fit into an
impossible mold for the sake of
capital gain. Its time to wake up to
your beauty and feed your body
with love and tenderness it truly
deserves.
