Managing the food-mood dilemma
Many women turn to food to manage their moods.
Eat mindfully
The first step toward breaking the food-mood cycle is to take a few days and begin to eat mindfully.
Don’t deprive yourself
Overly restrictive dieting can lead to an all-or-nothing attitude with food, and over time, severe hunger can lead to binge eating.
Analyse this
If you are like many women, you have a good idea of what your food issues are in general.
Plan ahead
If you want to change your relationship with food, you’ll need to change your environment. Use your food diary to determine whether you need to clean house. Literally.
