5. Fight Emotional Eating
A lot of the time the act of binge eating is associated with our emotional state at the moment. As children we were often awarded for good behavior with candy or any of our favorite foods. In time, many of us started associating the feeling of ‘reward’, ‘comfort’ or even ‘happiness’ with eating our favorite snack. However, the sense of pleasure attained from emotional eating is short-lived and thus, it escalates into binge eating. Many overeaters admit to turning to food during times of emotional turmoil. You need to be mindful not indulge in emotional eating and instead focus on other healthy outlets to feel better.
