An important thing to remember is that framing things around negatie emotions leads to more emotional eating. Try positive phrases such as "I am proud of what I put into my body" or "this food is the fuel I need to have a great bike ride" these will help trigger positive affirmations/experiences with food. The behavior is the same (you choose to eat when stressed) but you modify the reaction with healthy food choices (like the popped veggie chips at the gas station instead of deep fried potato chips on our last road trip). Over time, you change your stress response and feel energized by the foods you choose rather than feeling guilty and falling down the rabbit hole... hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531234326915147550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576521780253018329.post-7782379507034515902013-02-06T10:07:29.617-07:002013-02-06T10:07:29.617-07:00Catherine, Thanks for the tip!

I just did a quick search of EFT and it looks interesting. I appreciate alternative methods and EFT looks interesting. I'll do some more research and see what I can incorporate into my life.Ben Toweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565553467427023584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576521780253018329.post-32703993308036069962013-02-06T03:20:23.954-07:002013-02-06T03:20:23.954-07:00that's not good.
