As I've mentioned before, not letting my feelings -- rather than hunger -- tell me when and what to eat (not to mention how much) has been something I've really struggled with. Not only does it completely derail my efforts to lose weight, but it's also been a crutch that allows me to not deal with my feelings head on and face situations I'd rather not deal with.
One of the most helpful things I ever did? Started keep a mood log. I've talked a lot about food diaries in my years as a weight loss Guide, but if truth be told my mood log has told me just as much (or more) about myself and my eating habits than my food diary.
If you've never tried to do this, I highly recommend it. It can be a simple entry in your regular food diary or you could keep an extra log. Write down a word describing your emotions before you eat, while you're eating, as soon as you finish, and a little later.
Use it for one important purpose: identifying which emotions lead you to overeat. Why? Once you've figured out your triggers, I guarantee you can come up with better ways to deal with the problems than eating.
