Stress-eating is a definite reality for a lot of people. This tricks our bodies into thinking that we are doing well when we really are not. The first thing we need to do to stop the endless cycle of eating for comfort and then hating ourselves for it is to identify what makes us stressed and try to avoid or eliminate those stressors. Only then can we adopt healthier eating habits.

Key Takeaways:

• Stress eating, meaning eating in an unconscious fashion – during times of stress, particularly of fatty or sugary foods.
• This eating will happen regardless of a need for food – and usually end in a state of shame and powerlessness.
• This feeling of bewilderment and lack of control around food can make you suffer intensely.
