Have you ever stopped before
eating to ask yourself " I am really hungry?" or "Do I feel
stressed or anxious?"
This is a toughie
for women who tend to eat to deal with stress. Food is comfort when stress
takes hold, and the urge to eat feels a lot like real hunger. When you
wander into the kitchen or place an order at a restaurant, ask yourself if
you're truly hungry, or if you're eating for other reasons.
If you are truly
hungry, it will be easier to eat healthy foods. If you're stressed, you may
crave fatty and/or sweet foods.
If you keep in
mind that food will NOT solve the stress problems (and may create more of them)
in your life, and learn other coping mechanisms for stress, you will be far
better off.
