I try to add delays into eating. I have trouble snacking on sugary food at work whenever I'm stressed (which is most days ). When you feel the emotion that triggers wanting to eat, try to delay the impulse to go get food. Tell yourself, you will eat later and then think to yourself about the emotions you are feeling and how you can response to those emotions in a way that aligns more with who you are. At work, I ask myself 'why does this situation stress me?' and 'how can I respond to this feeling in a way that will help me?'.

For me, it takes breaking the automatic response with adding a delay. If I don't stop and delay and think, I will just automatically get something bad to eat.
