How to lose weight while emotionally overeating

If the reasons for overeating are stress, anger, or boredom, the solution is obvious: learn how to manage emotional eating. Here are a couple of tips:



1. Every time you want to eat to ease a negative emotion, do something different: go for a walk, call a friend, buy some fresh flowers, or take a fragrant hot bath.



2. Learn a relaxation technique, for example, how to do the breathing relaxation exercise:



Sit in a quiet place, in an upright but not tight posture. Close your eyes. Concentrate on breathing in and breathing out. Don't try to breathe deeply, or slowly, or fast.



If your negative emotion or thoughts return, don't blame yourself, just say, internally, Oh well... - then continue breathing and watching your breathing.



This technique is clinically proved way to manage stress, lower blood pressure, and get refreshed in just minutes.
