Day 33 Eliminate Emotional Eating
From Beck: People without a weight problem don’t think to eat to feel better.
Beck says while being upset is uncomfortable we can tolerate negative emotions and they will go away like cravings. She says: …best way to decrease your distress is to respond to your negative thinking and to solve the problem associated with your emotional upset. She points out she covers this tomorrow.
She suggests you use mindset techniques to deal with emotional eating:
Label your feeling. (And tell yourself you’re not hungry.)
Stand firm. (That you will not eat)
Don’t give yourself a choice. (NO Choice!)
Imagine the aftermath of giving in. (How will you feel after you overeat)
Read your Advantages Response Card. (Refocus yourself)
Use behavioral techniques:
Distract yourself.
Drink a soothing no- or low-calorie beverage.
Relax.
How are you with emotional eating?
Do you use mindset or behavioral techniques to handle it?
What other ways do you use to handle it?
