At some point in our lives, we’ve all fallen victim to emotional eating, whether it be scarfing down that whole block of chocolate or always finding ourselves in front of the refrigerator! Your best defense is understanding what exactly emotional eating is and how to recognize it in yourself.

When we think of emotional eating, we generally picture some poor heartbroken girl sitting in front of the television crying her eyes out and digging into a tub of ice-cream. But emotional eating can come in many forms and effect us all differently.
