How can I stop emotional eating?

Overcoming emotional eating involves recognizing triggers and finding healthier coping mechanisms. Can you identify what triggers your emotional eating?

I usually eat when I'm stressed or bored.

That's a common trigger. Have you tried alternative activities to manage stress or boredom, like exercise or hobbies?

I haven't really thought about that. What activities do you suggest?

You could try going for a walk, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in a creative hobby like painting or writing. Would any of these interest you?

I like painting! I might give that a try.

That's great to hear! Painting can be a wonderful way to express emotions and distract from cravings.
