If you are an emotional eater, you eat when you feel bad, sad, or even bored or happy. Food becomes an outlet for emotions instead of hunger. So, if you eat when you feel bad, then the better you can feel about yourself, the less you would be abusing food, and eating when not hungry. That is, unless you also eat when not hungry even if you are happy. Eating for any other reason besides hungry usually leads to weight gain, which then leads to feeling even worse about yourself. It can turn into a cycle, but it can definitely be broken. A great way to do so is to start with changing your thoughts, which will change your emotions. ;) @organ, thanks for your comment, although I have to disagree! I'm also an internet/PC user, and I believe that for those of us who spend most of our day sitting and working at a computer all day must make a point to get up, walk around, and schedule time for our workouts. Otherwise your body can get cramped up and lose flexibility, to name only 2 downfalls to remaining sedentary. ;) @prize, hi, that’s a good question, thanks for your comments!
