🧐 Here are 3️⃣ steps to stop turning to food/drink to soothe your emotions:

1️⃣ Recognise the exact emotion you’re feeling right now. Get more descriptive than ‘sad’. Is it frustration, shame, disappointment? Be clear on exactly what you’re feeling, because your emotions are always trying to tell you something.

2️⃣ Let your emotion be what it is rather than trying to avoid it. It’s OK to feel frustrated with yourself. Listen to your thoughts - what actions made you feel that way? Start to be curious about the real triggers for your emotional eating.

3️⃣ Know that food is a distraction but it also has a physiological effect on your dopamine and serotonin. So it truly does make you feel better to eat. However, other things can give your brain the same boost. Try these alternatives:

☀️ Take a walk in the sun
🏋️‍♀️ Workout
🎶 Put on your fave tunes and sing along
🧺 Tidy and clean your space

Overcoming emotional eating isn’t easy, but with a curious approach and a commitment to keep trying you can 100% do it. Obviously there is more  work to do than these 3 steps, but they will give you a good headstart 🧡
