Somi,
Thanks for your post. You just identified YOUR million dollar question. Once you start asking that question and experimenting with strategies, you start addressing the real issue behind your eating. Anxiety is a big issue for many people and while I couldn’t comment on your specific situation, there are some options to think about. In general, depending on the severity of the anxiety, someone might want to work with a therapist or a coach to learn other alternatives besides turning to food. If the anxiety is more manageable, you could pay attention to what the food does for you–HOW does it help you with your anxiety?–and experiment with other habits or activities that might replace the food. Your question raises a big and important topic–one we spend a fair amount of time on in my programs.

I like this posting and this website…and I wonder…what else CAN I do instead of turning to food? I often get anxious when I am talking to someone on the phone, and they can’t see me, and I eat while they are talking. What might I do instead? I can’t just get off the phone, because it’s an important call. But what to do?
