One of the most common challenges for someone trying to change their nutrition habits is emotional eating. According to the Mayo Clinic, it can be defined as any eating (or not eating) in response to a psychological need rather than a physical hunger and sooner or later it affects us all. Eating ice cream when you are sad, drinking wine when you are happy, snacking on chips when you are bored, downing donuts when you are tired and not eating when you are stressed are all examples of emotional eating. Today I would like to talk about some strategies to help deal with this ubiquitous issue, but first I want to clarify that I am not a psychologist. Any advice in this article does not apply to anyone with an eating disorder or who is currently undergoing treatment with a counsellor or psychologist.
