We have all been there: long days, back to back meetings, 3 pm energy crash, biscuit hunt...Oh, and it\u2019s only Monday!<\/p>\n

It's difficult to stop or even avoid emotional eating during the workday. While there are many other coping mechanisms out there, food remains an effective distraction from our worries and an easy-to-access source of comfort. So how do<\/em> you break a stress\/boredom-induced eating habit?<\/p>\n

1. Stretch your legs<\/h3>\n

Ideally, everyone would use their lunch break to not only eat but also go for a little walk. This being said, I know that sometimes that\u2019s just not possible. When that\u2019s the case, make you sure you step away from your computer every 45 minutes to get some water or just having a wander around on your floor (or your house if you're currently working from home).<\/p>\n

2. Eat<\/h3>\n

You are probably thinking \u201chuh\u201d? You read that right. We often skip meals when we feel too busy or, just don\u2019t eat enough when we do remember to eat. This then leads to an energy slump which will enquire a quick fix, probably something sugary. So yes, if you know you\u2019re going to have one of those days, plan ahead and have nutritious food at hand.<\/p>\n

3. Out of sight, out of mind<\/h3>\n

If you know that stress eating is something you\u2019re prone to do, avoid leaving a supersized jar of sweets or a family-size chocolate bar on your desk.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say that you can\u2019t have these things when if you want them but there is no need to have staring contests with them when you know you tend to emotionally eat AND feel bad about it afterwards (physically and emotionally).<\/p>\n
