Playing ARPGs for distraction. If that fails, there's always not putting food in my mouth. That one has a 100% success rate.

Well to be honest, finding out why I am eating my feelings? In all sincerity, there is a reason as to why you are using food this way.. Find that reason and you can correct it..

It's hard I used too do that too now I stop eating for a few days and then scoff way over that's my problem I'm always calorie counting its made me ill. I think with ur situation u have to try and tell ur self no and if that doesn't work then put a thin picture off u as inspiration I no it's really hard too stop though trust me I've been there

Identify the behavior. Work on a substitute. Go for a walk. Read a book. Take a hot bath.

I was also an emotional eater for years. When I embarked upon my journey to better health almost 18 months ago, something changed. I stopped emotionally eating. It was just natural. I will say that sometimes, I will overindulge in a major way. But it's not tied to emotions. It's usually hormonal eating that lasts a day or two at most. Then, back to my normal pattern of eating.

I would say just try to keep making the best food choices for yourself and hopefully in time it will get better.

If you are lonely visit a friend or family member, angry to a boxing class, stressed make some time for you - soak in the bath with a good book, massage, walk - etc.
