Today I share with you How to Recognise Emotional Eating

• Are you eating to silence shame, resentment, loneliness, anxiety, sadness, fear, and anger?

• Are you eating so that you can have something to do?

• Do you relish eating unhealthy foods as a way of remembering some of your childhood experiences?

• Do you overeat in the presence of others due to peer influence, being encouraged to celebrate etc.

• Do you find yourself feeling hungrier when you are stressed, thus you seek comfort through eating. Due to high levels of cortisol in your body, you end up craving fried, sweet, and salty foods.
