Are you on autopilot?
Did you know that 95% of your daily behaviours run on autopilot?
That’s right. 95% of what we do daily we don’t think about.
So stress eating might actually be habitual. In order to break this pattern you have to know it exists. Journaling is a great wake up call to begin realising the extent of your old emotional and impulse eating behaviours.
It kind of reminds me of Pavlov’s dogs a little. For example if TV becomes anchored with eating, then even if you aren’t hungry, just sitting in front of the TV will trigger the thought of eating. Sound familiar?
