What do you say to yourself before engaging in emotional eating?

    In the process I really don't say anything. I'm usually on auto pilot. It's a few days after that I see what I have done, that the self loathing talk starts. "Why did I." Because it was the tool I had at the time. However, I don't cut myself any slack.

    I honestly get on pinterest and look up previously pinned mantras or find new ones related to my goals.

    I think that when I am eating for emotional reasons, I tell myself reasons why it is okay. Or I tell myself I don't have any reason not to do it. I let myself give up over and over.

    I always "deserve it" because it's been a "rough" day. Or am on autopilot like the one above thinking I should stop but feeling incapable.
