Emotional Eating? Why That's a Good Thing

We’ve all heard the term emotional eating before

It’s really not a positive phrase or term used to describe positive things

I can’t think of one person who hasn’t eaten as a reaction to their emotions at some point in their life

The reason is that eating provides a distraction and also some immediate gratification

In the short term we might feel better, the food might give us some comfort, or enjoyment or take us away from our actual problems

But what I want you to realize is that it’s not a healthy way to cope with emotions, problems in our life, and all that.  

But what if emotional eating could be a good thing?
