Advice to address emotional eating and stress 🍎

Two weeks ago, the reader sent me this question:

I exercise regularly, but I still face stress. Where and how do I start dealing with this?

There are possibilities, you can link. How do I know? 1) You are human. (Unless you are a robot … in this case: Hello, please do not turn us into batteries like in Matrix 👋)

2) When we work with clients, they fill the questionnaire of clouds so that we can learn more about them, their goals, and what are their biggest challenges.

Emotional eating and stress the The most common challenge for our customers who are said – more than time, motivation, or even not knowing what to do.

If anything, then eating when we feel nervous is the thing that most of us share!

Emotional food and eating are complex behaviors, and they appear to many people in different ways. Although I am not a treatment or a registered dietitian, I am He can Share some of the patterns and strategies that we have seen help others as part of our training in Nerd Fitness.

However, if these behaviors are especially relieved or overwhelmed, then I want to acknowledge that working with a licensed mental health specialist (especially a person trained in turbulent food) can be really valuable. Treatment can be a change for games here, and our coach often works alongside therapists to make sure our work supports what they are doing. ❤

With all that has been said, let’s explore some practices in our training scope that we have seen help. 🙌

One of the most powerful things you can do is just stop and Notice What happens when you find yourself eating reflective.

Is it the pressure? attrition? boredom? frustration? Hunger? Just because this time from today?

This is not a matter of stopping behavior immediately – just to become more aware.

I had people saying this loudly they felt at the moment: “I had a stressful interaction with my colleague, and installed is to reach something that is firm.”

Once we are able to better understand our behaviors, we can use some other strategies that we will discuss for help.

Sometimes, this step alone is sufficient! I remember that my client Liz told me that this individual practice was very strong, as it helped her to redirect her behavior in a way that she felt well (although this was not the intention!)

2. Pre -Estelore Care (nicknamed your feeding menu)

Many emotional eating stems from unparalleled needs – fatigue, loneliness, tension and exaggeration.

For this reason we recommend building the “Nutrition List”: a list of small intended activities that help you recharge. Reading, stretching, daily, walking outside. All that really helps You.

Choose one thing from that list every day to exercise pre -emptive care.

Mark’s clients often found himself reaching snacks at the end of the day while watching TV, although he did not feel hungry technically.

We realized that part of the trigger for him was a feeling He did not get any time for himself throughout his feverish dayThus, this was the time to cancel pressure at the end of the night.

Whenever he just tries to fight with “discipline”, it will lead to counterproductive results and cannot maintain it.

It wasn’t time that we did not take time for small pockets from other recharge activities earlier in the day when the basic need was met, and the emphasis on the end of the day was easier.

3. Use “always” and “sometimes”

We often use use: Instead of describing foods as “good” or “bad”, think about it as “foods” or “sometimes”.

Foods always support your goals and energy constantly. These are the things you want to include regularly in your meals and snacks.

Foods are still “sometimes” great options to enjoy them, we just choose to eat them with less foods “all the time”.

The key here is: There are no foods outside the table permanently.

Often, I hear people who say things like: “I will finish a liter of the remaining ice cream in the freezer, then not from ice cream for me!”

Although I know that it has good faith, this ends with opposite results in almost every case.

Although we want to be realistic about the types and quantities of foods that support your goals, we also want to build a healthy relationship with food that does not weaken as “good” for “bad”.

This restoration can help.

4. Provide a boycott step

After that, it’s time to try a boycott step.

If you notice a strong desire to eat in response to stress, try to enter a small stop. We usually recommend finding something else to do for five minutes.

This may be on a short picnic, listen to music, and arrange your work space, whatever.

Then, you can ask yourself:

“Am I physically hungry, or something else is happening?”

Sometimes this temporary suspension is sufficient to redirect desire, or at least bring some awareness of what it leads.

Then you can make a conscious option instead of responding to the automated pilot.

Then we learn and build from there.

If stress is struggling with it, then you are not alone (and we have data to prove that!)

And if you are not sure where to start, choose one step from the list above and see how you feel.

I got this.
