Hi everyone,

I’ve recently realized that I struggle a lot with emotional regulation. Whenever I feel something, whether it’s positive or negative, I tend to cope by eating, sometimes to the point of overeating.

From the outside, I know it can look a certain way, and I’m aware of it myself. I think I’ve been relying on this habit for a long time because I’ve always felt kind of “emotionally overwhelmed” or unsure how to handle my feelings.

I was wondering if any of you have tips or strategies to help retrain my body and mind not to automatically turn to food when emotions come up.

Thank you in advance 💛
