How to check your triggers in the moment

When you notice that you’re thinking about eating and you’re not hungry, you’re hungry and you’re not allowing yourself to eat, or when you eat out of true hunger and eat beyond being full, do the following: a) Stop and take a deep breath. Really. Stop…Breathe… b) Invite yourself to be aware of what your thoughts are. Do not get carried away by them, just notice them. c) Notice what you’re feeling in your body and any emotions you can identify. d) Now ask yourself: “What just happened?” “What might I have just experienced or thought of from the past, present or future which could have impacted me and led to feeling the need to use food to cope?”
