When you're feeling a little down in the dumps,
chowing down on a helping of comfort food may seem like a quick fix, but you're
only doing your body injustice. Stress eating is a real issue that affects our
ability to lose weight and keep it off.
1.
Remember, you're in
control. When you feel like you're not
in control of what you're eating, you won't be. You're the only person with the
power to change this problem. Recognising your propensity to reach for solace
in the form or fast food or sweet treats is the first step to taking control
back.
2.
Stop snacking
mindlessly as you watch TV. Coming out of
a slight daze and realising you've inhaled a bag of chips is not the best
feeling in the world. If watching TV and snacking go hand in hand in your
house, make a point to stop the cycle. If you can't give up snack time while
you're by the tube, make it a point to snack on something clean and healthy.
