Keep stress under control at all times - not just when you're feeling it strongly - by trying yoga, meditation or other stress relievers. If you think you're hungry, analyze those feelings. Is the hunger physical or emotional? Divert your attention to something more positive and see if the craving subsides. Head off fatigue by getting enough sleep. Don't stock up on comfort foods on which you're likely to overindulge when faced with a crisis. Keep nutritious foods stocked so that when true hunger strikes, you're prepared to deal with it healthfully. Finally, keeping a food diary, complete with how you're feeling when you eat, can help establish patterns of emotional eating.
