🛑Stop. Don’t. Give. In. 🛑

When you’re stressed…

And you start wanting to mindlessly eat when you’re not hungry (Ding! 🔔 Ding! 🔔 Ding! 🔔This is stress eating!)

Just don’t do it.

Instead…

✅ 1) Do a self-check-in and ask yourself if you’re wanting to eat because you’re hungry? Or are you wanting to inhale those chocolate chip cookies because you’re feeling frazzled?

✅ 2) If it’s the latter, work on identifying WHAT you’re feeling. Are you feeling lonely? Sad? Scared? Overwhelmed? Bored?

✅ 3) Once you’ve figured out what you’re feeling, work on HOW you’re going to address this feeling in a non-food way.

Try calling a friend, starting a new hobby, asking for help, delegating what you can, focusing on your breathing, taking up meditation, or just slowing down in general.

🎇 Bonus tip: Create a list, BEFOREHAND, of all of the things you can do when a certain feeling strikes. 🎇

And if you struggle with stress-eating on the regular, building a consistent stress-relieving routine, moving your body daily, and weaving healthy habits into your day to day will holistically help you reduce and resist the urge to stress eat .🙌
