Emotional eating comes up when you don't know what else to do or feel helpless, so your body looks for something to occupy your mind to keep it away from thinking about the stress. A lot of times that comes in the form of eating, which becomes a form of entertainment, since it occupies a lot of your senses (taste, smell, touch) and more than anything, triggers the satisfaction hormone produced by the pituitary gland. What do I do? I didn't really eat a lot but I ate unhealthy foods. I watched anime and read manga. lol. But the point here is to find something else your mind can go to to take off the stress. It might be puzzles or mind games, addicting games, but those aren't really good either. Puzzles are, but not pc/video games. Just find something you could love to do. The top things that I find occupying: --biking --anime/manga, but those become very very addicting --gardening --BOOKS! find a book or novel series to love --keep a journal --art/drawing....even if your art is a bit...abstract... -especially patterns, drawing repetitive things such as checkers or stars or vines and then coloring them in in alternating colors is very satisfying, especially when i finish. That's me though. --make videos and post them on youtube, a live blog --writing stories/poetry other things you love to do<br><b>References : </b><br>myself I know what you mean.
