Question

Why do I stress eat?!?!?! Ugh! I just makes me feel worse! I need some alternative tricks. Thanks!  

Answer 1

I am usually full of advice and stay right on track no matter how bad the stress gets I take it for what it is and I don't sabotage myself. But then today I ate half a cake so my advice is do your best, but sometimes the stress will win. It doesn't matter as long as you win more often than the stress. Tomorrow I will be better. I will still have the same stressors. But I had my food tantrum and am much more capable of resisting the need to stress eat.  

Answer 2

You can try what I do. Find healthy, low pt. snacks that you really really want. Then when you stress eat you desire to snack on the healthier things that you want. Like for example I like jello bc it’s sweet. When I’m having a rough time I want sweet foods. I just keep jello around and that helps a lot

Answer 3

Gum or sunflower seeds!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Sugar free gum, La Croix, brush teeth

Answer 8

Drink water, brush your teeth, go for a walk, keep yourself occupied instead of falling into that trap.  

Answer 9

Gum - I chew lots of gum when I feel like I am going to stress eat

Answer 10

When I was trying to quit smoking, I would get up and take a brisk walk - maybe 5 to 10 minutes, just until the craving passed. Might be worth a try!
