You're probably well aware that stressful emotional circumstances can be major triggers when it comes to snacking. Some people eat to procrastinate; some eat for a temporary respite from a hectic day, and others eat simply when they're bored. If you find yourself wanting to have snack, while knowing in your heart of hearts (or stomach of stomachs) that you aren't actually hungry, ask yourself what's triggering you. And as Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels says in her iVillage article Recognize and Stop Emotional Eating, "The next step is, now that you've recognized it, you need to face it in order to conquer it." She says to ask yourself, "Can this issue be resolved in the now?" Take steps to fix the trigger, rather than trying to quell it temporarily.
