Key 2 discusses emotional eating. It begins with a quiz which identifies the different occasions in which an individual may emotionally eat. My score was 15 which indicate I struggle with emotional eating occasionally and there is room for improvement.
The next part provides a stress audit: My number is 110, due to recently being married and changing jobs (to a stay at home mom). Dr. Phil discusses how stressors can affect our eating habits. The right attitude and right behavior can get us the right result.
Individuals must be able to recognize the root of their emotional eating and formulate a plan to address these emotions when they arise. Ugly emotions will begin to take root in all areas of one's life. A plan to address the emotions should include: What action can you take to address the emotion? How will you feel when you have addressed the emotion? Is this how you want to feel?
How to cope without eating? Working out, relaxation exercises, listening to music, deep breathing, yoga, or meditation. Although these may not be your cup of tea; give them a try!
