Food and Negative Emotions
Food can be comforting sometimes when we're feeling down. Unfortunately its effects are extremely short-lived and may even leave an aftermath of guilt and pain over the eating. So instead of turning to food in stressful or emotionally trying situations, try deep breathing, meditation, talking to a friend or going for a brisk walk. Once you master these techniques and use them to help you instead of eating, you will find that you start using them automatically.



I am guilty of this sometimes ::blush::
Will try to follow some of these ideas instead.
Glad you shared this :)
I'll be trying these also !
But when I'm lonely or bored - no way.
I need to work on alternative behaviors.
Maybe I could take the dogs outside and brush them.
I definately won't want to eat if I have a mouth full of dog hair LOL
