Sameera Reddy Instagram – Are you an emotional eater? 🍫People always talk about diets & healthy eating but To really get to the core of why it’s so hard to stay consistent is important! Over the last 6 months along with consistent exercise I’ve lost almost 10 kgs and I’ve had to really dig deep into not eating from stress & mommy exhaustion . When you feel low and tired or negative there are certain cravings that kick in and I feel I’ve been able to balance it by being aware what my food triggers are . ⭐️ Emotional hunger vs 👉🏼 Actual hunger ✅ Actual hunger 👉🏼 – develops slowly – you feel full & mindfully stop eating – no negative feelings/guilt after – you desire a mix of food groups 👉🏼 Emotional hunger – comes suddenly/abruptly – binge eating & not feeling full – feeling bad post eating – craving certain feel good foods How to create the balance ? – when you feel a binge coming distract yourself , drink lots of water and let the feeling pass. – figure out your reasons and be mindful & aware – good sleep helps with stress & exhaustion. It also helps with not reaching out for sweet to pep you up in the day. – no late night snacking – portion control ( I’ve really followed this one) – keeping a food diary ( you will be amazed how much you tuck in 🥸) – keep moving through the day – and lastly truly figure out your calm space with whatever helps . #food #diet #cravings #messymama #imperfectlyperfect #momlife #motherhood #fitnessjourney #fitnessfriday #emotionaleating #tips
