What is emotional eating?
Emotional eating is when you use food as a way to cope with feelings. It is a way to soothe, comfort, or numb yourself when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed. It is often used as a distraction from the painful emotions that we don’t want to feel. This can lead to overeating, binge eating, or a cycle of yo-yo dieting.
Emotional eating can also become an addiction, as food can become a substitute for other forms of pleasure or an escape from uncomfortable emotions.
