Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First

Hello and welcome to #MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 287

Title: Can You Identify Your Emotional Eating Triggers?

Without eating food at all, most human beings are not likely to survive after 90 days and so food is very essential to human survival.

Eating is a habit just like nail biting or any other habit we

may be entertaining and exhibiting.

When we experience pain or discomfort in our worlds we use

food as a buffer to that pain; to block the feelings that are

expressing themselves.

It's called emotional eating and we're all guilty of it.

How can we end this endless habitual cycle of using food, of

hiding our pain in every bit we eat?

First things first...

Becoming aware of the situation...recognizing that you do indeed eat emotionally is the very tool you need to empower yourself to stop the roller coaster of emotional eating.

The key is you need to be paying attention to the "why" of your

emotional eating.

It's not always easy to track and pinpoint the reasons you feel like eating but by tracking your eating habits, by making notations of your feelings before, as it is happening and afterward you'll begin to take notice of certain trends.

For example you may notice that a certain person or situation at work causes you to reach for food...by tracking your eating behavior you'll be empowered to recognize and change your feelings.

Focus on and recognize what triggers your eating...is it boredom, stress from family members, workplace situations, unhappy and unfulfilling relationships?

Are you eating as a response to anger or stress?

If you learn to recognize the emotional triggers that cause you to reach for food, you can direct your energy into choosing healthier alternatives... healthier ways to deal with the emotions and feelings rather than turning to food as an emotional "tool".

Stress may be the number one reason people overeat. It is part of everyone's daily lives.

However there are active steps you can take to avoid stress and the accompanying false hunger signals.

1. Exercise.

It is a known constructive stress buster.

Take a long walk, lift some weights and watch your stress

and anger melt away.

2. Reward yourself with beautiful and calming music.

3. Take deep and conscious breaths.

Hiding our emotions and behavior behind our eating habits affects all of us at one time or another.

Learning to decipher and direct these false signals is totally within our control.

We just need to pay attention in the moment to what we are thinking, feeling and doing and how it is directly affecting our eating habits.
