Ever grab a bag of chips because the day went sideways?
I used to dive into snacks like they were my therapist… until I caught myself munching through a whole movie after a rough phone call!
Remember the Lays bet you can't eat just one?
Unfortunately when I started eating emotionally I thought they meant one bag, not one chip.
Emotional eating sneaks up on us, but you can outsmart it.
Here are 7 tips to keep your feelings off your plate!
Pause and ask, “Am I really hungry, or just mad?”
Sip water first, sometimes your brain’s just thirsty, not Snacky McSnackface!
Move instead, wiggle to a song or hit a Riverszen stretch session.
Name your “why”, like “I want to feel good, not stuffed!”
Swap the snack, grab a crunchy carrot if you must munch.
Spill it out, chat with a friend instead of the fridge.
Laugh it off, stress is sneaky, but you’re sneakier!
These tricks flip the script, so you’re running the show, not the cookie jar!
Next time you’re eyeing a treat after a tough moment, try #3… dance or stretch for five minutes and see if the craving fades!
