Spring Break #5 - Emotional Eating
This week’s spring break focus is Emotional Eating. And we’re exploring all things emotional eating.
Now emotional eating isn’t bad. It’s very normal. It’s okay to get pleasure and comfort and other positive emotion from the food that we eat. We shouldn’t deny ourselves that pleasure if we’re happy with our weight and physically and emotionally healthy.
But if our emotional eating is out of balance, if it’s contributing to us being unhappy with our weight and unhealthy, then we’re going to want to do understand why we’re emotional eating and find new ways of helping ourselves to feel better without turning to food.
