WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
• You crave specific comfort foods . Foods like chocolate , chips , or desserts often provide a temporary boost .
• You eat to escape feelings . When uncomfortable emotions come up , food can be an easy distraction or a way to numb out .
• You feel guilty or ashamed afterward . You beat yourself up for giving in to your cravings , which can trigger more emotional eating .
Recognizing these patterns isn ’ t about criticizing yourself — it ’ s about understanding why this is happening . Once you become aware , you can begin to make gradual shifts .
