All your work at healthy eating can feel undone when the urge to snack becomes irresistible. Planned snacks can be part of a healthy balanced diet. It is when you are not hungry and the snacks are bigger than they need to be - or continuous - that you need to pay attention. Whether you are overindulging with healthy calories or junk, it is all extra calories you don't need. Usually when this happens you are using food for a reason. Instead of getting upset with yourself, get curious. Tune in to your patterns and just notice what is going on. This is your body giving you a message. Just by paying attention, change will occur naturally.

Eating is comforting. It dulls uncomfortable feelings. Some people use the word numbing - it is a way to take the edge off of an uncomfortable sensation, like a sedative. It can be caused by stress, anxiety, boredom, tiredness, anger, frustration: any of the edgy feelings that are hard to hang out with. It can also be triggered by strong happy feelings, such as intimacy, excitement, or anticipation. Sensations that make you uncomfortable can make you reach for a soothing snack.

As you tune in to this whole process, it becomes clear that the eating is only a temporary fix. It doesn't do anything to improve the original situation. It just buys time. Which has value, but there are other ways to get there. The problem with using food is that it has side effects. You may not feel good physically after overeating. You can gain weight. And the out-of-control feeling of a snack attack can leave you feeling guilty and frustrated.
Yet the eating does serve a purpose. It is hard to just stop it without replacing it with something else. This is the key to the solution: what would be an even better approach? What is something else that would be soothing, comforting, or address the situation itself? If you are tired, a need to eat could mean that you need to take a break or let go of some of your expectations. If you are sad or lonely, angry or frustrated, it may be most helpful to just sit with it for a little while. Find the activities are the most calming for you, such as deep breaths, sitting quietly, going for a walk, or even doing a meditative activity like washing dishes or weeding.
