eat less and 20% experience no change for
food they eat when exposed to stress.

such as reading, watching TV, emailing, etc.

popcorn on an extra large container,
unconscious about how much he has been
eating.

all the substances that we swallow and
consume to make ourselves feel better.

distressed, annoyed, bothered,
irritated, ashamed, or guilty, WE EAT.

is never an easy task.
However, it is not an excuse for
constant abuse of food.

that something good will
come out of it.

identification of the problem and
awareness.

people and socializing like going out to
dinner with friends, snacking while eating

on the group we are in. We tend to make
other people’s choices of food similar with
us.
