How To Break Free From Emotional Eating
Here’s what I did to overcome my emotional eating habits:
Awareness
The first step in breaking free from any negative pattern is to simply be aware that it exists. When we learn to cultivate awareness around what we do and how we do it, we are connecting with our inner guide, higher power, spirit. When we bring conscious awareness to all the little things, everything will fall into place.
Feel
After you become aware of your thoughts and actions, focus on how you feel. Stay with the feelings. Don’t run from them or turn to food for comfort (or any other unhealthy habit). Know that these feelings will pass no matter how crappy they make you feel.

The study found the following:
- In two separate cohorts with a high prevalence of diabetes and adiposity, plasma erythritol was higher among those with cardiovascular disease and major adverse cardiovascular events.
- Erythritol increased the propensity of the blood to clot in human blood in vitro and in a live mouse model of injury to the carotid artery, which feeds the brain.
- Consumption of a drink with 30 grams of erythritol by human volunteers elevated erythritol beyond the levels needed to cause clotting in vitro and in live mice for more than a full day.

"Monitor your weight and lose weight if needed. Learn what your "dry" or "ideal" weight is. Dry weight is your weight without extra water (fluid). Your goal is to keep your weight within 4 pounds of your dry weight. Weigh yourself at the same time each day, preferably in the morning, in similar clothing, after urinating but before eating, and on the same scale. Record your weight in a diary or calendar. If you gain 3 pounds in one day or 5 pounds in one week, call your doctor. Your doctor may want to adjust your medications."
