Manage your mood.
When it comes to food, sometimes people let unchecked emotions cloud their choices. When you are angry, you might crave something crunchy. When you are sad, you might want something warm and smooth. If you are an overeater, you will most likely eat when your emotions are swelling.
Consider working on managing your mood. Many things can affect your mood. You might have a chemical imbalance in your brain. You might not be getting enough sleep. You might have low blood sugar. You might be eating sweets. You might be ignoring your real needs. Maybe you are unwilling to feel certain feelings. No matter what the cause, allowing your emotions to take over your life can lead to overeating.
Action for the day:
Are your moods ruling you? First of all, don’t let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Second, meet with a professional (for example, a therapist who specializes in food addiction) to examine this aspect of your life and to determine what you need to do to manage your mood in a healthy way.
