5 Reasons To Stop Stress Eating (And How To Do It)

1. In response to stress, you need to choose something that makes you feel better, not worse. When we overeat in response to stress, we often end up feeling worse and less in control than we felt prior to overeating.
2. You don't want to compound a negative hormonal effect
3. You have a unique opportunity to create positive emotion (or even joy!)
4. You need to choose a response that restores or generates energy instead of one that depletes energy
5. How you always respond is how you'll always respond.
