Do your emotions get in the way of your eating habits? If so, you may be an emotional overeater.

Emotional overeaters have a problem with weight management because their eating patterns are ruled by their emotions. Emotional eaters tend to eat for reasons other than physical hunger, turning to food when they are stressed, upset, anxious or excited. The result is a loss of control over what they eat and excessive calorie consumption. This cycle results in weight gain and depression, which leads to more eating, creating a self-perpetuating cycle.

To conquer overeating:

Conquer the craving

Drink water first

Fill up on something healthy

Take time out

Write on

Pamper yourself

Talk it out

Use your imagination

Keep it in perspective

Have fun
