I seem to be having a stressful day with one thing or another and all i seem to do is catch myself stress eating. so far have eaten about 9 bits of chocolate (1 freddo and 8 cadbury crispello) and a bag of walkers crisps. Have now made my self a 2 litre bottle of no added sugar squash to stop eating. What do others do to try to stop the emotional eating please? many thanks in advance

    I always make sure that

    1. There is NO junk food in my house
    2. I have healthy alternatives that satisfy me around :)

    Plain yoghurt (NOT fat free with additives but instead I have it with no added sugar) with a ripe banana or some apple is just amazing :) Also nuts are quite filling and nice to chew on.

    Another strange one for me... soft tofu, cold and topped with fresh ginger and soy sauce. Amazing, I promise!

    edit: on really bad days I do allow myself to go to the local convenience store and buy the smallest dark chocolate bar in site. I can't control myself otherwise!
