What is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating occurs when food is used as a way to cope with feelings rather than to satisfy physical hunger. It often involves turning to comfort foods to soothe emotions like stress, sadness, boredom, or anxiety, which can create a cycle of guilt and shame that further impacts body image and self-esteem. Understanding the underlying emotional triggers and developing mindful coping strategies can help break this pattern, allowing individuals to cultivate a healthier relationship with food and their emotions. Through compassionate exploration and support, it is possible to address emotional eating with greater awareness and self-kindness.
