This document discusses how eating can be used as an emotional response to deal with difficult feelings and life experiences. For many people, food is turned to for comfort when feeling sad, happy, stressed or other emotions besides physical hunger. Emotional eating can become a habit where eating is used to cope with or avoid feelings. Reasons for emotional eating may include mood changes, hormones, lack of coping skills, or trying to feel in control through eating. Learning to identify triggers and find alternative coping strategies can help manage emotional eating.
