1. Whenever I am upset I call my best friend for validation.
Just having someone listen allows me to vent and get some of those
toxic angry feelings out of my body instead of me stuffing them
back down with food.
2. I go visit my horse, because spending time with him calms me
down. Don't have a dog, cat, bird, fish, horse, cow, any
animal? Go to the park and watch the squirrels!
3. I'll go on line and look for vintage shirts on e-bay, look for something new to get for my motorcycle, or download some new workout music from iTunes.
4. I pamper myself like I would a child--tuck myself into bed and watch my favorite movies!
Now I want you to nurture yourself this way--and I am willing to bet that the more you treat yourself like this the less likely you will be to overeat for emotional reasons. So, the next time you have had a hard day and you are about to order up a pizza, take a breath and ask yourself: What is it that you like to do, need to do? Then stop and try that instead.
