Is Weight Gain Only in Your Head?
It might be! Emotional eating is when we allow social situations, emotions or labels to distract us. Does this ever happen to you?
Ask yourself these questions to help identify emotional eating:
Why are you eating? Is it because you are trying to eat to control your blood sugars, because you are celebrating an event or because you are sad?
When do you eat? Think to yourself “am I physically or emotionally hungry.” Check out our blog, Emotional Hunger vs. Physical Hunger, for more information.
How much do you eat? Do you eat until you are stuffed, or 50% full, 70% full? Refer back to the hunger scale to determine how hungry or full you really are!
