Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Eating isn’t always just about hunger, it’s often connected to how we feel. Many of us turn to food during certain emotional moments, not because we’re physically hungry, but because we’re stressed, sad, lonely, or just plain bored. This is called emotional eating. It can bring brief comfort, but more often than not, it leaves us feeling guilty or unsatisfied afterward. 😞🍫
Let’s talk openly about this:
What emotions most often lead you to eat when you’re not hungry?
Have you found ways to better recognize and manage these moments?
What helps you get back to more mindful eating?
