Two common emotions that influence eating when not hungry are:
- Stress
- Boredom
These emotions often trigger emotional eating as a coping mechanism or as a way to pass time, rather than stemming from physical hunger. Stress can amplify cravings for comfort foods high in fat or sugar, while boredom can lead to eating as a distraction or source of immediate pleasure. If you’d like, I can share strategies to recognize these triggers and plan healthier responses.
