Emotionally speaking, eating should be pleasant, but when food love is used as a coping mechanism for stress or sadness, it may become unhealthy. If you are an emotional eater, it is very important to deal with the basic emotions of compulsive eating. Mindfulness meditation can help you understand the real needs of your body. Observing your thoughts and emotions is not to make mistakes for yourself, but to let you break the cycle of emotional habits and make reasonable choices.
