How To Deal With Emotional Eating? Insights From Dr. Susan Campbell

Why do we emotionally eat? And what’s the best way to break the pattern?

Transforming the habit of emotional eating is all about learning how to deal with the normal discomforts of life. Like not getting what you want or dealing with a difference of opinion.

That’s what Dr. Susan Campbell told me recently in our conversation about the reasons why we emotionally eat and what we can do about it.

When we emotionally eat, we’re ignoring the uncomfortable feelings we’re having in the moment and covering them up with food.

It might be the way your co-worker handled a project you were working on or how your husband or wife spoke to you. Whatever the reason, Susan gives us a simple technique to address how we feel directly and interrupt the automatic pattern of emotional eating.
