Some people are reaching for unhealthy choices, others are snacking way more than usual, and some people are reaching for second helpings any chance they can get. There are several things you can to address your appeitte. You might find it's helpful to write down everything you eat in a journal or app. This can raise your awareness and help you be more mindful of what you're eating. When you find yourself turning to food, you might ask yourself how you're feeling. Are you physically hungry? Or are you trying to banish boredom or cope with loneliness? If it's more of an emotional hunger, you can learn new coping strategies, like meditation or journaling. If those things don't work and you want to get professional help, a therapist can assist you in learning to identify the thoughts and feelings that contribute to your behavior. A cognitive behavioral therapist who is well-versed in eating issues can help you figure out how to stop overeating so you can feel better. | | | | | | EDITOR'S PICK OF THE WEEK | | | | | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the Healthy Mind newsletter.
