Any way to prevent stress and emotional eating?

[apple24]

I always find chocolate to numb the silently deadly pain I feel. Is there anyway to control it?

Replace the habit until you can be rid of it.

Gum and tea have been helping me recently. Gum, they have some AMAZING flavors that actually help curb my want for sweets.

Or, simply grab some gum and go for a walk. Tea and a walk help with stress. If you're up for it, go for a run or full workout.

The first step in preventing stress, is noticing the signs of when it starts. Deep breaths, don't focus on what's stressing you out, but the solution to it.

:P You've got this, Apple!

Distraction, and will power. Habit or emotional hunger often dissipates if you don't focus on it too heavily I find. You just have to learn to say "no" and wait it out, or try binge eating something low-calorie to fill the space.

Of course, having a treat once in a while when you've had a bad day is okay. Just keep er' under control.

I've never had that problem because I hate food, but what I do know is that once I started jogging, I was force to eat a lot more to keep up. You can eat any amount of calories you want as long as you burn them off later, so good physical activity can give you all the excuses you need to eat high calorie foods.

A bag of frozen vegetables? These are my patato chips. I think it's a addiction thing. I use to drink slot of soda. I quit by when my wanting to feel good out weighted my temporary satisfaction. To do it you have convince yourself that you can. It's like 95% mental. Believe and you shall receive.

When you feel hungry and want chocolate, have some fruit instead.

Just don't keep sweets around the house and only keep the necessities.

Find stress techniques that work for you. There are a lot online. Take a hot shower, read, write, etc.

[Elarra]

Don't buy it and stop bringing that shit into the house. Problem solved.

Sport to releave the stress and if you eat chocolate, go for the very dark low or unsugared one

[Máiiréad]

Chew gum, exercise/dance, sing, do what makes you feel happy.

[capturemyheartnow]

There are many ways. But your use of chocolate for this is a completely a wrong line of treatment.

[Hans222]

Work out to relax, and when you want to eat something try some carrots. They're nice to bite on, taste good and don't make you gain weight :D

[Chico_brah]

[Puppylove94]

[Riggers]

[BubbleQueen]

[rgb008]

Occupy your time with other activities.
