Mindless eating won't help. You'll just be fat AND bored. Play with your kids, take a walk, do some stretches or deep breathing, chew gum, drink water--REMEMBER YOUR GOALS!!

YES

Is it because you're bored?
|
YES
|
DO YOU WANT TO EAT RIGHT NOW??
|
YES
|
Is it time to eat?
|
YES

You just ate something. You are not truly hungry. Eating now will make you feel bloated and cause you to gain weight.

Well, is it because you're stressed, sad, angry, frustrated, irritated, overwhelmed, etc.??
|
|
Well, until you know WHY you want to eat, you should just WAIT. The food isn't going anywhere...
|
|
Well, then why are you looking at this chart?! Go do something else! :)
|
|
If you eat, will you choose something healthy and filling?
|
|
Well, if you're eating a treat, is it worth the calories? Have you thought it through?

Eating will fix none of these problems. You will regret EVERY BITE. Do you know what to do now?
|
| |
|
Go ahead and eat. Eat slowly, really enjoy your food--be grateful for it. Then go do something productive.
|
|
Go ahead and have a treat, then, Eat it slowly, and enjoy it guilt-free! :)
|
|
I think you know what you should do. Close the fridge door and walk away...
|
YES

Address your feelings. Write in a journal, go for a walk, pray, stretch, breeeeaathe, call a friend, look at MFP success stories. Be productive--clean, organize, paint your toenails--ANYTHING!! Eating will solve nothing. Food is for fuel and pleasure. It does NOT fix any emotional issues--in fact it makes them worse. STOP EATING YOUR FEELINGS!
