There are always constructive ways to obtain or satisfy any feeling. It's NOT about the food, it's about the feeling you thought you would get from eating that food. What are you really hungry for? Companionship? Love? Happiness?
We need to understand that overeating will never make us feel good. It will make us sluggish, bloated, and guilty afterward. It isn't worth it for any short-lived relief we get. What will really make us feel good is being in control and the victory we feel from becoming fitter, healthier, and better than we were yesterday.
When you feel the temptation to feed emotional hunger, distract yourself by doing some kind of physical activity. The benefits of physical activity go way beyond just mere distraction. Physical movement and exercise might be the single best way to change how you feel because your mind and your body are interconnected. EMOTION FOLLOWS MOTION. When you decide to move your body, you will change the way you feel. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
