🥗🍫 Are you really hungry, or just looking for comfort?
One of the biggest challenges in healthy eating is knowing the difference between physical hunger (your body’s real need for energy) and emotional eating (when food is used to cope with feelings like stress, boredom, or sadness).
💡 Here’s the key:
Physical hunger builds up slowly, any food will do, and you feel satisfied after eating.
Emotional eating comes suddenly, usually with cravings for specific foods, and often leaves you unsatisfied.
✨ Remember — emotional eating is normal and happens to everyone. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness. Once you can spot the difference, you’ll have more control over your choices 💪.
➡️ Save this post for when cravings hit, and share it with a friend who struggles with emotional eating.
