I'm an emotional eater also. After a stressful day, I eat all evening. It really hurts my dieting efforts. Do you have helpful hints????

try something relaxing to you such as shower tv walking or petting a animal playing a video game talking out the stress to a friend or loved one

My vote goes for distraction, too. Find something else as an outlet for your stress, perhaps even exercise. Next time you're thinking about eating when you're stressing, go for a brisk five minute walk instead.

I've found that after taking the healthy initiative and going for a walk, the last thing I want to do it weigh down my stomach with comfort foods.

Best of luck!

you really need to find the way how to get rid of your stress, but if you couldn't find.. you can eat healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables. some of dark chocolate might help, too. see more at "Jennie's Diet-How"
