You love a good routine! And maybe you’re quite the homebody, too. You love to come home after a long work day, put on your cozy comfy clothes, and snuggle up on the couch with your pets or significant other to have some snacks and watch your favorite show. You’re a nostalgic person and you love sharing great experiences with the people you care about. You love having your favorite foods that are associated with certain memories and experiences.That means great food, snacks, desserts, and delicious beverages - because this life is for living, right?

Maybe you find yourself feeling guilty after eating for comfort. You’ve tried to break out of the habit of eating just to eat, or eating when you’re not actually physically hungry…But it’s just so hard to create a new habit around food after all these years.

But that leads to even MORE cravings so you end up binging when you finally do have access to those foods. You love food - but now you have a love/hate relationship with food because you want to enjoy it, but often feel guilty and overwhelmed about what to eat, and how much to eat. Here are some tips to help you be more mindful of emotional eating: Identify the situations and times you’re most likely to find yourself emotional/boredom eating. What triggers you to eat?
