How do I stop stress eating?

When im upset, stressed depressed or anxious I eat. In less than 2 months im going on a vacation where I will have to wear much less clothes than normal being that its somewhat tropical. Meh. Even thinking about it is making me want to binge. How can I stop myself from eating? Im already terrified about people seeing how I look and this added weight gain from the past few weeks is not helping!!

Answer #1

Start writing instead, or excersize when your down. I know it sounds crazy, but it works for me.

Answer #2

Try buying healthy foods instead of snack foods, so if you get the urge to binge there wont be anything to binge on (you’re a lot less likely to go out to actually buy something to binge on)

Here’s a site, overeaters annonymous, you dont have to be fat or overweight to look up this stuff, it really is just for people who use eating as a coping tool…

Answer #3

stop eating or find another way to make yourself feel better! talk to someone, hit something (not someone), cry, scream, (don’t hit yourself), write how you feel on a piece of paper, etc. try to keep your fridge snacksless, lol, then you will go like, ummm, I’m not in the mood to make a sandwich/ cook (or whatever you’re eating) have some fruits instead of eating chocolates, chips, etc.

hope I helped :) good luck
