ARE YOU AN EMOTIONAL EATER?

ARE YOU AN EMOTIONAL EATER?
 
 Nurture yourself in new ways: Keep some   Time aside for yourself.   I pursue a new hobby or learn   a   craft.   Do   a home    beauty    treatment, Practice     meditation     and relaxation. Visualise yourself as an attractive and friendly person. Be polite and courteous to family members, neighbors, colleagues and menials. Don’t be sloppy. Get dressed after a bath and be presentable.
To get over the craving for food, practice yoga!
Add meaning to your life: Do   volunteer   work   at   the   local orphanage or blind school. Sign in for a charity fund-raiser, take a class, participate in a seminar, connect with people and make new friends. Stop thinking about food and live. 
Give in: Once in a while, you may give in to satisfy your craving for the sinful Black Forest cake, or an ice-cream sundae. That way you will not feel deprived but feel contented and satisfied, and can then concentrate on other things.
Prevent relapse: Once you have been able to control emotional eating, be sure you don’t relapse. Train yourself not to think about food when alone, stressed or bored. If necessary, take the help of family members, friends or colleagues. Eating is a great way to procrastinate - so beware of that habit!
Some foods like chocolate have addictive   qualities   and   are believed to relieve anxiety. Thus,   once   you   can zero in on what makes you   binge,   you   can definitely, with a little bit of will-power, control your cravings and divert your mind to happier and healthier alternatives.
