PART 6: Break through emotional Eating

Self-Discovery: Hunger

•  List the last meal or snack you ate. Write down everything you ate or drank.

•  Was this a planned meal or snack? If no, what triggered you to have this meal or snack?

•  How many hours had it been since you last ate?

•  Did your meal or snack satisfy your hunger?

•  Do you think this was physical or emotional hunger?

•  List a situation that is an emotional eating trigger for you (e.g., boredom while watching TV or stress at work).
