Get back to your roots and trust your own intuition and change your relationship with food and change your life. Here are 12 steps to stop emotional eating: 1. Make a Commitment. It’s time to make a commitment to yourself. Just write it down and say it all day long if you have to, something like, “I am committed to me!” 2. Keep a Journal. This helps you become acutely aware of what you are putting in your body and the emotions attached to what you are eating and drinking. Jot down how you are feeling before and after you eat. 3. Manage your stress. Healthy emotional distress management is an important life skill. Positive ways to reduce stress include regular exercise, relaxation techniques and getting support from family and friends. 4. Drink lots of pure water. Take your body weight, divide it in two and that is how many ounces of pure water you drink daily 5. Move Your Mass. Yes, you read that correctly. Constant movement daily is your body’s right. Get movement throughout your day by including squats while you cook, stretch while you brush your teeth, lunge to your car, run up the steps. Having a personal trainer to teach you how to move is not only a lot of fun and will keep you accountable and teach you what you need to do specifically for your body. 6. Use healthy distraction. Instead of overeating, take a walk, surf the Internet, pet your cat or dog, listen to music, enjoy a warm bath, read a good book, watch a movie, work in the garden or talk to a friend. 7. Start eating healthier. When you eat for health you’ll choose more high fiber foods, such as vegetables, beans, whole grains and fresh fruits, plus healthy high protein foods, like fish, lean poultry and low-fat dairy. 8. Eat mini-meals often. By eating 5 or 6 small healthy meals a day, including breakfast, you help keep your blood sugar and moods stable. 9. Get rid of temptations.
